The book "Legends and Legends of China" by the famous Russian orientalist and translator Pavel Vasilievich Shkurkin (1868-1943), published in Harbin in 1921, for the first time opened to the Russian reader the mysterious and bizarre world of Chinese mythology and folklore. Formidable deities and spirits, famous heroes, magicians and soothsayers, demons and werewolves, fantastic animals in human form, as well as ordinary mortals - the main characters of these fascinating stories.
The collection includes episodes from the history of the "Three Kingdoms", legends about famous Chinese doctors, South Chinese, Manchurian and Turkestan legends, as well as the legend of the White Snake, which is based on real historical facts.
We hope that this first Russian full-color gift edition of "Legends and Legends of China", written by a talented storyteller and richly illustrated with works of world painting, will bring pleasure to all lovers of this amazing genre.
The first edition of the book was published in 1921 under the title "Chinese Legends".
