书籍简介

Few works of literature are as familiar and beloved as The Arabian Nights. Yet few remain also as unknown. In English, The Arabian Nights is a literary work of relatively recent date-the first versions of the tales appeared in English barely two hundred years ago. The tales are accompanied by a preface, a note on the text, and explanatory annotations.

"Contexts" presents three of the oldest witnesses to The Arabian Nights in the Arabic tradition, together in English for the first time: an anonymous ninth-century fragment, Al Mas'udi's Muruj al-Dhahab, and Ibn al-Nadim's The Fihrist. Also included are three related works by the nineteenth- and twentieth-century writers Edgar Allan Poe, Marcel Proust, and Taha Husayn.

"Criticism" collects eleven wide-ranging essays on The Arabian Nights' central themes by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Josef Horovitz, Jorge Luis Borges, Francesco Gabrieli, Mia Irene Gerhardt, Tzvetan Todorov, Andras Hamori, Heinz Grotzfield, Jerome W. Clinton, Abdelfattah Kilito, and David Pinault.

A Chronology of The Arabian Nights and a Selected Bibliography are also included.

很少有文学作品像《一千零一夜》那样为人熟知和喜爱。然而，仍有少数人是不为人知的。在英语中，《天方夜谭》是一部相对较近的文学作品——这个故事的最初版本出现在仅仅200年前。这些故事都附有序言、注释和注释。

“背景”展示了阿拉伯传统中三个最古老的《一千零一夜》的见证人，这是第一次用英文一起呈现:一个匿名的9世纪的片段，Al Mas'udi的Muruj Al - dhahab和Ibn Al - nadim的《恶魔》。还包括三个相关的作品，由十九和二十世纪的作家埃德加爱伦坡，马塞尔普鲁斯特，和塔哈侯赛因。

《批评》收集了11篇关于《一千零一夜》中心主题的广泛文章，作者是雨果·冯·霍夫曼斯特，约瑟夫·霍洛维茨，豪尔赫·路易斯·博尔赫斯，弗朗西斯科·加布里埃里，米娅·艾琳娜·格哈特，茨维坦·托多罗夫，安德拉斯·哈莫里，海因茨·格罗茨菲尔德，杰罗姆·w·克林顿，Abdelfattah Kilito和大卫·皮诺特。
