In the stories of the famous Chinese writer Pu Songling (1640-1715), also known under the pseudonym Liao Zhai, the boundaries between the world of reality and the world of magical extravaganza are decisively swept away. The power of fiction easily and naturally breaks the usual measures, and a couple of lovers finds shelter in the sleeve of a wizard monk, and a lovely girl in a green dress turns out to be only a temporary guise of a green wasp. However, the bizarre phantasmagoria serves Liao Zhao not simply as a way out of the ordinary, but above all is subordinated to the search for justice on earth, the struggle of man against evil. Chimerical transformations are determined by reality - and the dullard scientist by the power of magic becomes a horse, that is, himself, forcing us to recall the boar with a briefcase - Nikolai Ivanovich from the novel by Mikhail Bulgakov.
Illustrations by Chinese artists from a lithographed edition of the late 19th century.
