Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio (Volumes 1 and 2) by Songling Pu
"Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio (Volumes 1 and 2)" by Pu Songling is a collection of Classical Chinese stories written over forty years from the late 1600s to early 1700s. Comprising nearly 500 tales of ghosts, foxes, and supernatural encounters, these stories blur the boundaries between the otherworldly and everyday reality. Rather than frightening readers, they explore passionate emotional entanglements between humans and spirits, often containing implicit critiques of society. The
work has influenced generations of writers and remains celebrated as a pinnacle of Chinese supernatural literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
