About this book
Eminent Chinese scholar John Minford's superb translation captures the consummate skill and understated humor of Pu Songling's classicStrange Tales from a Chinese Studio(also known asStrange Tales from Liaozhai). With elegant prose, witty wordplay, and subtle charm, the 104 stories (selected out of over 400 from the original work) in this collection reveal a world in which nothing is as it seems. In his tales of shape-shifting spirits, bizarre phenomena, haunted buildings, and enchanted objects, Pu Songling pushes the boundaries of human experience and enlightens as he entertains.* Includes an introduction, suggestions for further reading, glossary, notes, and illustrations
