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.

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?

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."

略脏,是侧面有很多灰的痕迹,不过仔细擦之后会好很多。

还有一些部分我也不能放过,那就是下面这些地方的荒凉海岸:拉普兰,西伯利亚,斯匹次卑尔根⑥,新地岛,冰岛和格陵兰,还有“那辽阔的北极区域,和那些阴暗地带荒无人烟的地区;那儿是冰雪的贮藏所,经过几百个隆冬的积累,已经成了一片坚实的冰野,像阿尔卑斯山般一峰高似一峰,冰面晶莹光滑,绕着地极,积聚了严寒的无穷威力”。对这些惨白色的区域,我形成了一个我自己的看法:朦朦胧胧,像在孩子们脑海里沉浮的似懂非懂的概念,却又出奇地生动。这几页导言里的文字都是和后面的小插图有关联的:屹立在波涛汹涌、浪花飞溅的大海中的岩石,搁浅在荒凉海岸上的破船,还有那从云缝间俯视沉舟的幽灵般的月亮,导言中的文字就使这些画面变得重要了。
