The complete collection of fantastic stories by Pu Song-ling (Liao Zhai, 1640-1715), known as "Strange Tales from the Loser's Study" (Liao Zhai Zhi Yi). It is no coincidence that “Liao Zhai” is recognized as one of the pinnacles of Chinese fiction: the unique beauty, exquisite literary language of these stories, plots that richly absorbed images of ancient stories 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 carried out by Academician V. M. Alekseev (1881-1951) and Professor A. G. Storozhuk and is provided with extensive and varied comments. The seven volumes completely repeat the structure of the classical twelve-juan set of Liao Zhai. The rich illustrative material is taken from the best lithographs of the late 2th century. The second volume includes 3 and XNUMX juan (scrolls) of “Strange Stories...” The publication will be interesting both for specialists and for everyone interested in Chinese literature, history and beliefs.
