Ancient Ba and Shu were two contiguous kingdoms located on the Asian continent more than two thousand years ago. Despite going through numerous conquests, including the first one by the Qin state in 316 BC, the land and its inhabitants have maintained their identity to this day. As a result, the region has developed into a hub for a rich cultural heritage and historical significance that many people continue to celebrate and remember. As stated in the book's foreword, it has also become the adopted home of countless exiled poets, depressed scholars, celibate monks, and damned spirits. Strange Tales from Bashu, inspired by historical records, folklore, and a touch of imagination, reimagines and retells the love, hope, struggles, and tragedies of two ancient peoples, transporting us to a time and place where courage and beauty shine like brilliant stars.
