Su questo libro

L'autore:

Pu Songling (1640-1715) was a native of Zichuan County, Shandong Province. He lived in a time of unprecedented sharp class confrontation. Pu Songling was born into an impoverished landlord-merchant family and was constantly unsuccessful in the imperial examinations. He didn't pass the examination and win the title "gongsheng" until he was 71. His frustrations and indignation drove him to pour out his feelings on paper.
