Tales from Tang Dynasty China is written by Alexei Kamran Ditter and published by Hackett Publishing Company. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1624666302 (ISBN 10) and 9781624666308 (ISBN 13).
Compiled during the Song dynasty (960-1279) at the behest of Emperor Taizong, the Taiping Guangji anthologized thousands of pages of unofficial histories, accounts, and minor stories from the Tang dynasty (618-907). The twenty-two tales translated in this volume, many appearing for the first time in English, reveal the dynamism and diversity of society in Tang China. A lengthy Introduction as well as introductions to each selection further illuminate the social and historical contexts within which these narratives unfold. This collection offers a wealth of information for anyone interested in medieval Chinese history, religion, or everyday life.
