Tansky Novellas

This collection gathers fantastic, romantic, heroic, and satirical novellas by Chinese masters, narrating tales of love, nobility, fear, retribution, and other facets of human life. The novellas will immerse the reader in a world where evil is punished, justice and goodness triumph, and lovers are reunited. The plots of many novellas later continued in the form of folk tales and songs, laid the foundation for dramatic literature of the 13th–16th centuries, and even now find reflection in modern Chinese fantasy.
