A complete collection of fantastic stories by Pu Songling (Liao Zhai, 1640-1715), known as "Strange Stories from the Cabinet of a Loser" (Liao Zhai zhi yi). It is no coincidence that "Liao Zhai" is recognized as one of the pinnacles of Chinese fiction: the uniquely beautiful, exquisite literary language of these stories, the plots that richly absorbed the images of ancient narratives and folklore of different provinces, made "Strange Stories ..." one of the most recognizable and sought-after monuments of literature, widely known in the countries of the Far East. The first complete translation of "Strange Stories ..." presented in this edition was made by academician V. M. Alekseev (1881-1951) and professor A. G. Storozhuk and is supplied with extensive and varied commentary. Seven volumes completely repeat the structure of the classical twelve-juan collection "Liao Zhai". Rich illustrative material is taken from the best lithographers of the late 19th century. The first volume includes 1 and 2 juan (scrolls) of "Strange Stories..." The publication will be of interest both to specialists and to anyone interested in Chinese literature, history and beliefs.
