Summary:
"A groundbreaking translation
--
along with new commentary and hundreds of images
--
enhances this celebratory publication of the most famous story collection of all time. The long-anticipated publication of The Annotated Arabian Nights extends this tradition with a strikingly modern translation
--
the first of Shahrazad's tales into English by a woman
--
as well as erudite notes that will illuminate the stories for both dedicated readers and newcomers. Yasmine Seale's translations from both
Arabic
and French capture the musicality and rhythm of the Nights' poetry and prose, while Paulo Lemos Horta's annotations wrestle with the extraordinarily complex origins and history of the stories, showing that, far from being inventions of French antiquarians or English explorers, they have clear antecedents in
Arabic
folklore and tradition. This illustrated edition selects core stories as well as treasured later additions such as "Aladdin" and "Ali Baba" to offer an unparalleled account of a cornerstone of world literature that can be treasured by children, students, and literature-lovers alike"--Provided by publisher.
