The complete collection of fantastic short stories by Pu Sun-lin (Liao Zhai, 1640-1715), known as "Strange Stories from the Loser's Cabinet" (Liao Zhai zhi yi). "Liao Zhai" is not accidentally recognized as one of the pinnacles of Chinese fiction prose: unique in beauty, exquisite literary language of these stories, plots, richly absorbed images of ancient narratives and folklore of different provinces, made "Strange Stories ..." one of the most recognizable and sought-after monuments of diction, widely known in the countries of the Far East. The first full translation of "Strange Stories..." presented in this edition was made by Academician V. M. Alekseev (1881-1951) and Professor A. G. Storozhuk and is provided with extensive and varied commentaries. The seven volumes fully repeat the structure of the classical twelve-tszuan codex "Liao Zhaya". The rich illustrative material is taken from the best lithographs of the late 19th century. The first volume includes 1 and 2 juan (scrolls) of "Strange Stories..." The edition will be of interest both to specialists and to all those interested in Chinese literature, history and beliefs.
