Today, the theme of Eastern epics is very popular all over the world. We want to offer you fairy tales by the famous Chinese author Pu Songling, which have gained immortal fame in China and, despite their three-hundred-year history, have long crossed the borders of the Celestial Empire and are still in demand by readers. The fox is a cunning character in the folklore of many nations, but in Chinese culture, it holds a special place. In China, the fox is portrayed as a shape-shifting creature, endowed with a special ability for insidious deceit, easily beguiling its victim and then ruthlessly exploiting them. It is endowed with longevity reaching thousands of years and superhuman, even divine characteristics. But foxes can both deceive, confuse, and entangle, as well as help! Bringing fatal charm to humans, sometimes leading them to the brink of death, the fox often brings miraculous healing to them as well... The book has been translated by the remarkable sinologist and philologist Vasily Mikhailovich Alexeyev, who has also provided numerous notes to the text.
