Audiobook: 聊斋志异 (Liaozhai Zhiyi)
《聊斋志异》，清代短篇小说集，是蒲松龄的代表作，在他40岁左右时基本完成，此后不断有所增补和修改。“聊斋”是他的书屋名称，“志”是记述的意思， “异”指奇异的故事。全书有短篇小说491篇，内容十分广泛，多谈狐、魔、花、妖，以此来概括当时的社会关系，反映了17世纪中国的社会面貌。书中写的是一个花妖鬼狐的世界，既有对如漆墨黑的社会现实的不满，又有对怀才不遇、仕途难攀的不平；既有对贪宫污吏狼狈为奸的鞭笞，又有对勇于反抗，敢于复仇的平民的称赞；而数量最多、质量上乘、写得最美最动人的是那些人与狐妖、人与鬼神以及人与人之间的纯真爱情的篇章。 (来自百度百科) (Summary from Baike.baidu.com)
