Looking for paranormal romance, psychodrama, fantasy, legal thrillers, comedy, tragedy, drama, family sagas, love stories, historical fiction, ghost stories, horror stories, gothic tales, magical realism, fairy tales, a record of the past, biting satire or just entertainment with an Ancient Chinese twist? Then read this book! First published in 1740, Liaozhai Zhiyi: Fantastic Tales from a Talking Library is an anthology of around 400 ancient Chinese short stories written, edited or collected by Pu Songling (1640-1715), who lived in China between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. With fresh 21st-century translations and commentary by me, and published randomly in bite-sized chunks of 15 to 17 stories, whether you’re a scholar of the Chinese language, looking for Chinese literature in translation, or just after something to read, Fantastic Tales from a Talking Library has what you’re looking for!
