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.

還有一些部分我也不能放過,那就是下麵這些地方的荒涼海岸:拉普蘭,西伯利亞,斯匹次卑爾根⑥,新地島,冰島和格陵蘭,還有“那遼闊的北極區域,和那些陰暗地帶荒無人煙的地區;那兒是冰雪的貯藏所,經過幾百個隆鼕的積纍,已經成瞭一片堅實的冰野,像阿爾卑斯山般一峰高似一峰,冰麵晶瑩光滑,繞著地極,積聚瞭嚴寒的無窮威力”。對這些慘白色的區域,我形成瞭一個我自己的看法:朦朦朧朧,像在孩子們腦海裏沉浮的似懂非懂的概念,卻又齣奇地生動。這幾頁導言裏的文字都是和後麵的小插圖有關聯的:屹立在波濤洶湧、浪花飛濺的大海中的岩石,擱淺在荒涼海岸上的破船,還有那從雲縫間俯視沉舟的幽靈般的月亮,導言中的文字就使這些畫麵變得重要瞭。

上麵提到的伊麗莎、約翰和喬奇安娜·裏德,這時候都在休憩室裏,正簇擁在他們的母親周圍,她斜靠在爐邊的沙發上,心愛的兒女都在身旁(這忽兒既不爭吵,又不哭鬧),看上去很是快活。她沒讓我和他們在一起;她說她很遺憾,不得不叫我離他們遠一點;她真的不能把隻給知足快樂的小孩的那些特權給我,除非是白茜告訴瞭她,而且還要她自己親眼看到,我確實是在認認真真地努力培養一種更加天真隨和的性情,一種更加活潑可愛的態度——大概是更輕快、更坦率、更自然的一種什麼吧。
