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.

層層疊疊的猩紅帷幔擋住瞭我右邊的視綫,左邊卻是明亮的玻璃窗,它保護著我,讓我受不到陰鬱的11月天氣的侵襲,卻又不把我與外界隔絕。在翻書頁的當兒,我偶爾眺望一下鼕日午後的景色。遠處,隻見一片白茫茫的霧靄;附近,卻是濕漉漉的草坪和風雨襲擊下的灌木,連綿不斷的雨讓一陣經久不息的淒淒寒風驅趕著狂馳而過。

書是不錯,速度也不慢,包裝是京東的老問題,說過多少次就是不改進。這本書是精裝,拿到手兩麵書殼是翹的。

這次同批發貨的圖書中,這本書沒有塑封包裝,而且書的硬質封皮邊角有被撞變形,書的正麵和側麵有多處被蹭髒留下汙漬......在京東買瞭這麼多次書,這本最讓我失望,不是書本身的問題,主要是包裝和保護沒到位!

略髒,是側麵有很多灰的痕跡,不過仔細擦之後會好很多。
