About the author

Pu Songling (simplified Chinese: 蒲松龄; traditional Chinese: 蒲松齡; pinyin: Pú Sōnglíng; Wade–Giles: P'u Sung-ling, June 5, 1640—February 25, 1715) was a Qing Dynasty Chinese writer, best known as the author of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

Pu was born into a poor landlord-merchant family from Zichuan (淄川, now Zibo, Shandong). At the age of nineteen, he received the gongsheng degree in the civil service examination, but it was not until he was seventy-one that he received the xiucai degree.

He spent most of his life working as a private tutor, and collecting the stories that were later published in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Some critics attribute the Vernacular Chinese novel Xingshi Yinyuan Zhuan to him.

Reviews

[Maxim Nutrikhin]

Помимо погружения в мистический и фольклорный мир Китая, эта книга стала для меня прекрасным вводным описанием устройства традиционного китайского общества.
Теперь я лучше знаю, чего я абсолютно не знал о Китае и что хотел бы узнать.

Я тоже хочу быть лисицей :(
