Condor Trilogy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Condor Trilogy is a trilogy of three wuxia fiction novels by Jinyong. The trilogy began with the fall of Jin Dynasty and Song Dynasty and the rise of Mongolian Empire. The story ended more than a hundred years later with the establishment of Ming dynasty. The characters in the trilogy played significant roles in the rise and fall of these nations.
Although the English name of the trilogy is "The Condor Trilogy", it is most likely a mistranslation, as the characters in the first two novels are associated with eagles, not condors.
The books in the trilogy are:
- The Legend of the Condor Heroes (1957)
- The Return of the Condor Heroes (1959)
- The Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Saber (1961)
