內容簡介
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.

我倒是很高興,我素來不愛遠距離的散步,特彆是在寒冷的下午。對我來說,在陰冷的黃昏迴傢實在可怕,手指和腳趾都凍僵瞭,還得聽保姆白茜的責罵,弄得心裏很不痛快,而且自己覺得體質不如伊麗莎、約翰和喬奇安娜·裏德,又感到低人一等。

it shows the power of mere curiosity, which drives man to overcome all | to rove, to adventure | "though they grew louder and more insulting the higher she climbed, the princess only laughed,and said to herself that she certainly would not let a few rough words stand between her and goal."

“簡,我可不喜歡吹毛求疵或者尋根究底的人;再說,小孩兒這樣打斷長輩的話,實在可怕。找個地方去坐下來。不會說討人喜歡的話,就彆多嘴。”休憩室的緊隔壁是一間小小的早餐室。我溜進瞭那間屋子。那兒有一個書架。不一會兒,我就拿到瞭一本書,我特意挑一本圖畫很多的。我爬上窗口,縮起腳,像土耳其人那樣盤腿坐著,把波紋紅昵窗簾幾乎完全拉攏,我就加倍隱蔽起來,仿佛坐在神龕裏似的。
