The ''Condor Trilogy'' (射鵰三部曲) is a series of three wuxia novels written by Hong Kong-based Chinese writer Jin Yong (Louis Cha). The series are generally considered the ''magnum opus'' of Jin Yong's works. The novels in the trilogy are: * ''The Legend of the Condor Heroes'' (射鵰英雄傳), published in 1957. * ''The Return of the Condor Heroes'' (神鵰俠侶), published in 1959. * ''The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'' (倚天屠龍記), published in 1961. == Historical background == The first novel, ''The Legend of the Condor Heroes'', is set against a backdrop of a series of wars fought between the Han Chinese-dominated Southern Song dynasty and the Jurchen-led Jin dynasty. In the meantime, Mongol tribes led by Temüjin (Genghis Khan) emerge as a rising power in the north. The second novel, ''The Return of the Condor Heroes'', is set in the period when the Mongols attack the Southern Song dynasty after having conquered the Jin dynasty. The historical Battle of Xiangyang is also featured as one of the key events in the novel. The third and last novel, ''The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'', is set in the late Yuan dynasty (founded by the Mongols). Towards the end of the novel, the Yuan dynasty is overthrown by rebel forces and the Ming dynasty is established. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Condor Trilogy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
