内容简介
The most famous of all story collections,
The Arabian Nights, also known as
The Book of the Thousand and One Nights, is beloved around the world. Composed of Persian, Arabic, Greek, Indian, and other sources that accumulated over hundreds of years, these fabulous stories-within-stories have long fired readers’ imaginations with an enchanted world of flying carpets, magic lamps, genies, demons, magicians and sorceresses, carnivorous giants, and bloodthirsty bandits.?
Translation has played a key role in the formation of
The Arabian Nights as we know it, making it far more prominent in the West than it has ever been in the Arab world. Westerners’ first discovery of some of the tales in the early eighteenth century sparked a feverish thirst for more, which led to compilations that freely adapted, reconfigured, and even added to the originals. The resulting love affair with the art, architecture, literature, cuisine, and culture of the East significantly remapped the European literary landscape.
Editor Wen-chin Ouyang has compiled a carefully chosen selection from influential English translations, showcasing the strengths of different translators, including Richard Burton, Edward Lane, Jonathan Scott, and John Payne. Here are Shahrazad, Sinbad the Sailor, Aladdin, Ali Baba, and many more, in the most readable and enjoyable versions available.

这次同批发货的图书中,这本书没有塑封包装,而且书的硬质封皮边角有被撞变形,书的正面和侧面有多处被蹭脏留下污渍......在京东买了这么多次书,这本最让我失望,不是书本身的问题,主要是包装和保护没到位!

在书店看上了这本书一直想买可惜太贵又不打折,回家决定上京东看看,果然有折扣。毫不犹豫的买下了,京东速度果然非常快的,从配货到送货也很具体,快递非常好,很快收到书了。书的包装非常好,没有拆开过,非常新,可以说无论自己阅读家人阅读,收藏还是送人都特别有面子的说,特别精美;各种十分美好虽然看着书本看着相对简单,但也不遑多让,塑封都很完整封面和封底的设计、绘图都十分好画让我觉得十分细腻具有收藏价值?
