Summary:
A collection of enchanting, spirited stories from the 17th century Chinese playwright. Each narrative begins with a short poetic introduction and commentary and concludes with a quick critique. But the distintice ribald nature of this assortment soon becomes apparent. Some tales are built on similarly delightful subterfuge. There is the audacious con artist, the scourge of all China, who finally decides to lead a righteous and holy life but first dupes a pair of rich benefactors into building his temple; the young rake gratefully unburdened of an ugly wife by her early death, who pursues the most beautiful gurl in the area and her equally lovely maid, winning them both after turning his attention to the latter, a sharp-witted, practical woman who knows wht she wants and how to get it. Subtle comedies of marriage and Chinese society, these give charming evidence of a true master's touch, easily bridging more than 300 to bring stories that remain fresh and vibrant today.
