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.

書是不錯,速度也不慢,包裝是京東的老問題,說過多少次就是不改進。這本書是精裝,拿到手兩麵書殼是翹的。

層層疊疊的猩紅帷幔擋住瞭我右邊的視綫,左邊卻是明亮的玻璃窗,它保護著我,讓我受不到陰鬱的11月天氣的侵襲,卻又不把我與外界隔絕。在翻書頁的當兒,我偶爾眺望一下鼕日午後的景色。遠處,隻見一片白茫茫的霧靄;附近,卻是濕漉漉的草坪和風雨襲擊下的灌木,連綿不斷的雨讓一陣經久不息的淒淒寒風驅趕著狂馳而過。

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."
