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.

我重又低頭看書,看的是比維剋①的《英國禽鳥史》。一般說來,這本書的文字部分我不大愛看,但是有幾頁導言,我雖說是個孩子,卻也不能完全當作空白翻過去。那幾頁導言寫到海鳥常去的地方;寫到隻有海鳥居住的“孤寂的岩石和海岬”;寫到挪威的海岸,從最南麵的林訥斯內斯角②或者納斯到北角③,沿著海岸綫,點綴著許多海島——那裏,北冰洋捲起巨大的鏇渦,圍繞著世界盡頭光禿淒涼的海島咆哮,大西洋的驚濤駭浪激蕩起落,注入風雨交加的赫布裏底群島④。
