Synopsis "Strange Tales From a Chinese Studio: Eerie and Fantastic Chinese Stories of the Supernatural "

Long considered a masterpiece of the eerie and fantastic, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio is a collection of supernatural-themed tales compiled from ancient Chinese folk stories by Songling Pu in the eighteenth century. These tales of ghosts, magic, vampirism, and other things bizarre and fantastic are an excellent Chinese companion to Lafcadio Hearn's well-known collections of Japanese ghost stories Kwaidan and In Ghostly Japan. Already a true classic of Chinese literature and of supernatural tales in general, this new edition of the Herbert A. Giles translation converts the work to Pinyin for the first time and includes a new foreword by Victoria Cass that properly introduces the book to both readers of Chinese literature and of hair-raising tales best read with the lights turned low on a quiet night. Some of the stories found in these pages include: The Tiger of ZhaochengThe Magic SwordMiss Lianziang, the Fox-GirlThe Quarrelsome BrothersThe Princess LilyA Rip Van WinkleThe Resuscitated CorpseTaoist MiraclesA Chinese Solomon

Pu Songling (蒲松龄, 5 de junio de 1640 – 25 de febrero de 1715) fue un escritor chino de la dinastía Qing que se ganó la reputación de maestro de los relatos extraños y sobrenaturales. Habiendo nacido en Zichuan (actual Zibo, provincia de Shandong) y viviendo gran parte de su vida como maestro particular, dedicó años a recoger historias de lo insólito y lo fantástico, publicando posteriormente su obra más famosa, Liáozhāi zhìyì (generalmente traducida como Cuentos fantásticos de un estudio de lo parlante o Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio). En esta recopilación —más de 400 relatos— fusiona el folclore, lo fantástico y la crítica social, deteniéndose en la condición humana y los vicios del poder.

El estilo de Pu Songling destaca por su uso del chino clásico y la tradición de los “chuanqi” (relatos maravillosos de las dinastías Tang y Song) dentro de un contexto literario moderno para su época. Aunque no existen registros de premios literarios formales otorgados en su vida, su legado ha trascendido siglos y fronteras: muchas de sus historias han sido adaptadas al teatro, cine y televisión, y se le considera una influencia clave en la literatura de lo fantástico en el mundo chino y más allá.
