Kapinallinen Lo Ta : $b Koomillinen kiinalainen seikkailuromaani

A lively tale set in twelfth‑century China follows the larger‑than‑life captain Lo Ta, a self‑styled “rebel” who wanders the bustling streets of Wei Tshou. While looking for an old mentor, he bumps into the famed “nine‑whiskered dragon” Shi Tsun, a master of the staff, and the two quickly strike up a friendship over tea. Their meeting leads them into a bustling market crowd where a mysterious figure brandishes a gleaming rod, setting the stage for a series of bold, often absurd, confrontations.

The narrative rolls from one quirky episode to the next: Lo Ta’s attempts to become a monk, his unconventional victories over a bandit chief, and his reluctant duties as a vegetable‑garden guard. Filled with witty dialogue and vivid snapshots of medieval Chinese customs, the story balances slapstick humor with a surprisingly sharp look at a society teetering on the edge of rebellion. Listeners can expect brisk pacing, colorful characters, and a joyous sense of adventure that never loses its playful spirit.
