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.

“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。

层层叠叠的猩红帷幔挡住了我右边的视线,左边却是明亮的玻璃窗,它保护着我,让我受不到阴郁的11月天气的侵袭,却又不把我与外界隔绝。在翻书页的当儿,我偶尔眺望一下冬日午后的景色。远处,只见一片白茫茫的雾霭;附近,却是湿漉漉的草坪和风雨袭击下的灌木,连绵不断的雨让一阵经久不息的凄凄寒风驱赶着狂驰而过。

好好一本书,还一个角折的很严重。这么贵的书不知道好好保存吗?

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。

这次同批发货的图书中,这本书没有塑封包装,而且书的硬质封皮边角有被撞变形,书的正面和侧面有多处被蹭脏留下污渍......在京东买了这么多次书,这本最让我失望,不是书本身的问题,主要是包装和保护没到位!
