A Hero Born, the first volume of famous Chinese martial arts novelist Jin Yong’s Legends of the Condor Heroes, was on Thursday published in English for the first time.
British publishing house MacLehose bought the rights to the book five years ago and commissioned Anna Holmwood, a professional focused on Chinese-English literary translation, to the
translate work. After years of hard work, the 400-page translation, priced at 14.99 pounds ($20.8), finally hit bookstores. “I feel very excited and a little nervous also, of course. It is a big moment for me personally,” Holmwood told Xinhua from her home in Sweden. “If you are a fan of Lord Of The Rings and are looking for the next best thing, A Hero Born is definitely the book for you,” Waterstone, one of Britain’s biggest chain bookstores, said on its website.
Jin Yong(1924-2018) is the pen name of Louis Cha. He is one of the best-selling Chinese authors with over 300 million copies of his works sold in the Chinese-speaking world. Despite their popularity, only few of Jin Yong’s martial arts novels have been translated into English. The Legends of the Condor Heroes, one of his most well-known works, covers the Song Dynasty and features hundreds of characters, telling a story full of gravity-defying kung fu, treachery, loyalty and love.
Holmwood, who has also translated works by other contemporary Chinese authors, said she became very involved in the details and admired Jin Yong’s brilliant writing. As a fan of Chinese classical poetry and literature, she recommended Jin Yong’s novels to a book agent in 2012. “It was mainly because of the quality of the writing and also because of his status in Chinese culture. The publisher in Britain was very excited to see there was such a big beloved author who still hadn’t been translated into English, at least not by a trade publisher,” she recalled.
“Of course it does make me nervous that the translation will be read against the original in a way that most translations don’t. So I have taken on the task with a humble heart,” she said.
The Times called the book she translated “hugely entertaining” and selected it as Book of the Month.
