Description In Pursuance Of Books Liêu Trai Chí Dị
"Nhiều người bảo là Liêu Trai là truyện thần quái dị đoan, có lẽ chỉ nghe nói mà chưa đọc qua bao giờ. Hay là có đọc nhưng không ngẫm nghĩ nhận xét...Liêu trai hay cả truyện lẫn văn, không lạ gì nó được truyền tụng xưa nay, coi như một bộ đoản thiên tiểu thuyết đặc sắc nhất của Trung Quốc.
Chẳng riêng ở Á Đông, nhiều nước Âu Mỹ đã có bản dịch từ lâu. Một nhà phê bình không ngần ngại viết rằng:"nhiều chuyện trong Liêu trai có giá trị làm bài học tu thân xử thế, há phải là loại đọc tiêu khiển cho người hiếu kỳ mà thôi."
Đây là bản dịch Việt ngữ"

One of the books that I've been carrying in my handbag and also in my head is Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio by Pu Songling in the 17th century.Reading these stories allows you to get lost in a supernatural world where fox-spirits are not uncommon, ghosts roam around in the light of day, and Taoist exorcists save innocent victims from all kinds of evil forces. I've thought of foxes as cunning, because most other legends make them out to be so...but it is fascinating how they are seen asA wonderful "dipping into" book that I can read time and again. Collects together 104 short stories from 17/18th century writer Pu Songling. The stories are a bizarre mix of folklore and strange but true accounts - A cross between the travels of john manderville/ Marco Polo meets Grimm's fairytales with a bit of Fortean times thrown in, all with a period Oriental flavour. We have fox spirits, Kyonsi, demons, gods, taoist wizards, naive clerics and corrupt officials.This is the origin of almost
The title, and the fact that this is a Penguin classic, attracted me. I really, really enjoyed this read. The stories were quite short, some only a paragraph in length, and the longest ones being perhaps 4-5 pages. And they were strange indeed, strange is definitely an understatement. They were very candid tales, especially considering they were written almost 400 years ago. Many stories were of a sexual nature which also surprised me because of when the stories were written. A couple of stories
"Read these tales properly, and they will make you strong and brave; read them in the wrong way, and they will possess you."- Feng ZhenluanEarly nineteenth century commentator on the Strange TalesI honestly dont know how to begin with reviewing a book like this. Normally with short story collections, I try to do a short review for each tale, but with 104 stories, Im not going that route this time. Perhaps well go with a little historic background?These tales were written by Pu Songling sometime
This year I wanted to read more Chinese classical literature. Started with Pu Songling's collection of stories. This is a collection of fairytales / ghost stories for grownups. Many stories involve the main character, who is a scholar, who falls in love with a beautiful woman, but who turns out to be a ghost or a fox fairy or flower fairy. In many stories, the beautiful woman loves our scholar back, they get married and have children and live happily everafter :) It is the kind of ghost story
This book was most excellent. A selection of 20 of Pu Songlings strange tales rewritten in modern Chinese, the texts were presented in both traditional and simplified characters. The stories featured a lovely mixture of ghosts, fox spirits and trips to the underworld. The book is aimed at intermediate Chinese students, (those who have completed the Read Chinese series I and II). Ive not been studying with the Read Chinese series, but it definitely has the best supplemental reading material of
