Features: Step into a world of gods, ghosts, foxes, and demons, yet more pure and exhilarating than the human world: The mischievous and charming Yingning, the alluring and coquettish Yatou, the wise yet foolish Xiaocui, and the tragic and sorrowful Gongsun Jiuniang—all are fox and demon maidens? The women of Pu Songling's world are indeed far more adorable than the men. Watch as they play in this absurd and desolate human world: Professor Ma Ruifang interprets Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, bringing vivid characters to life and taking you back to that wondrous world that is both illusory and real, true and false. The first volume focuses on female characters, the second on male characters, and the third on characters that balance both genders. The intention is to select representative figures from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and use them as focal points to analyze the achievements of the work.
