Anthony C. Yu's celebrated translation of The Journey to the West reinvigorated one of Chinese literature's most beloved classics for English-speaking audiences when it first appeared thirty years ago. Yu's abridgment of his four-volume translation, The Monkey and the Monk, finally distills the epic novel's most exciting and meaningful episodes without taking anything away from their true spirit.
These fantastic episodes recount the adventures of Xuanzang, a seventh-century monk who became one of China's most illustrious religious heroes after traveling for sixteen years in search of Buddhist scriptures. Powerfully combining religious allegory with humor, fantasy, and satire, accounts of Xuanzang's journey were passed down for a millennium before culminating in the sixteenth century with The Journey to the West. Now, readers of The Monkey and the Monk can experience the full force of his lengthy quest as he travels to India with four animal disciples, most significant among them a guardian-monkey known as "the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven." Moreover, in its newly streamlined form, this acclaimed translation of a seminal work of world literature is sure to attract an entirely new following of students and fans. "A new translation of a major literary text which totally supersedes the best existing version. . . . It establishes beyond contention the position of The Journey to the West in world literature, while at the same time throwing open wide the doors to interpretive study on the part of the English audience."--Modern Language Notes, on the unabridged translationBinding Type: Paperback

STA-BIL Start Your Engines! Because Sometimes Engines Need a Pep Talk
Size: 2 fl oz
So, STA-BIL Start Your Engines! is basically that friend who shows up uninvited but actually saves the day. You know, the one who doesn’t ask questions and just gets your engine running when it’s feeling moody or sluggish.
Does it work? Of course it does. Like, “put a little in your gas tank, say a quick prayer, and voila!” kind of work. Suddenly your car remembers how to start, and you feel like a mechanic genius without actually lifting a wrench.
It’s simple, it’s reliable, and it doesn’t judge you for letting your gas sit around until it gets that “I don’t want to cooperate” attitude.
Pros:
Makes your engine start like it just had an espresso shot.
Easy to use — even if you’re barely awake in the morning.
No weird smells or smoke signals, just clean, smooth starting.
Cons:
Won’t fix your “I forgot to put gas in” problem.
Sadly, can’t make your car drive itself to work (yet).
You might start relying on it a little too much — hey, no judgment.
Final Verdict:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – 5 stars.
If your engine is feeling lazy, this stuff just works. It’s like a pep talk in a bottle for your car. Highly recommended for anyone who’s ever cursed their ignition.

Cleans Out Working Carburetors
Size: 2 fl oz
I recommend this product for engines that will in fact start but not run well. I highly recommend it for that specific purpose, which it is designed for. It cleans the inner workings of the carburetor. Of course, you will have a cleaner carburetor if you take it apart and clean it with proper tools and a proper carburetor cleaner.
You spray it in the gas tank, start the engine, and let it run a bit. It will not start an engine with a totally plugged up carburetor. Nothing is going to do that. Nor is it a fuel stabilizer, as one previous reviewer seemed to think. Nor is it a product to be used to bring life back to stale gasoline, as another reviewer seemed to think. The only thing to do with stale gasoline is drain it out and pitch it. Nor is it a product to be used for cleaning a carburetor you have taken apart to clean. You should use a proper carburetor cleaner for that purpose.
I've given it four stars because it cleans out mildly plugged up carbs. It is not a miracle solution for really neglected carbs as the name suggests.
