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.

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."

书是不错，速度也不慢，包装是京东的老问题，说过多少次就是不改进。这本书是精装，拿到手两面书壳是翘的。

　　我倒是很高兴，我素来不爱远距离的散步，特别是在寒冷的下午。对我来说，在阴冷的黄昏回家实在可怕，手指和脚趾都冻僵了，还得听保姆白茜的责骂，弄得心里很不痛快，而且自己觉得体质不如伊丽莎、约翰和乔奇安娜·里德，又感到低人一等。

　　我重又低头看书，看的是比维克①的《英国禽鸟史》。一般说来，这本书的文字部分我不大爱看，但是有几页导言，我虽说是个孩子，却也不能完全当作空白翻过去。那几页导言写到海鸟常去的地方；写到只有海鸟居住的“孤寂的岩石和海岬”；写到挪威的海岸，从最南面的林讷斯内斯角②或者纳斯到北角③，沿着海岸线，点缀着许多海岛——那里，北冰洋卷起巨大的旋涡，围绕着世界尽头光秃凄凉的海岛咆哮，大西洋的惊涛骇浪激荡起落，注入风雨交加的赫布里底群岛④。
