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.

子笺这时才放了心,强笑一下道:“好!我们生死由命,绝不怨你狠毒……明天见,记得‘落月涧’。” 他说罢一翻身,轻飘飘地落在山径上,再一晃身,又出去了七八丈,渐渐地消失在暗影里。 花蝶梦听他已去远,她残酷地笑了笑,心中感到一种莫名的快感。因为她又要杀人了! 她仰起了头,对着明月,自语道:“明天月上时……他们为什么要送死呢?” 又是月上树梢的时候了,蓬莱山的寒林,被晚风沐浴着,发出了一片断肠的呼啸,像是遥远莫及的亲人,在悲哀地呼唤着。 “落月涧”是蓬莱山的绝地,原是一个小小的盆地,四面均是峭壁与蔓草,是一个极荒凉和恐怖的地方。 但是此刻,有三个长衣的奇人,围坐在一面四尺的石桌旁,桌上摆着丰盛的酒筵,他们正在喁喁地私语着。 左边坐着的正是元子笺,居中的是一个古稀的老人,他矮

“简,我可不喜欢吹毛求疵或者寻根究底的人;再说,小孩儿这样打断长辈的话,实在可怕。找个地方去坐下来。不会说讨人喜欢的话,就别多嘴。”休憩室的紧隔壁是一间小小的早餐室。我溜进了那间屋子。那儿有一个书架。不一会儿,我就拿到了一本书,我特意挑一本图画很多的。我爬上窗口,缩起脚,像土耳其人那样盘腿坐着,把波纹红昵窗帘几乎完全拉拢,我就加倍隐蔽起来,仿佛坐在神龛里似的。

那一天不可能去散步了。不错,我们早上已经在片叶无存的灌木林中逛了一个钟头;但是,自从吃午饭的时候起(如果没有客人,里德太太是很早吃午饭的),冬日的凛冽寒风就送来了那样阴沉的云和那样透骨的雨,这就不可能再在户外活动了。
