The long-anticipated publication of \u003cem\u003eThe Annotated Arabian Nights\u003c\/em\u003e extends this tradition with a strikingly modern translation--the first of Shahrazad's tales into English by a woman--as well as erudite notes that will illuminate the stories for both dedicated readers and newcomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYasmine Seale's translations from both Arabic and French capture the musicality and rhythm of the Nights' poetry and prose, while Paulo Lemos Horta's annotations wrestle with the extraordinarily complex origins and history of the stories, showing that, far from being inventions of French antiquarians or English explorers, they have clear antecedents in Arabic folklore and tradition. This stunningly illustrated edition selects core stories as well as treasured later additions such as \"Aladdin\" and \"Ali Baba\" to offer an unparalleled account of a cornerstone of world literature that can be treasured by children, students, and literature-lovers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781631493638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 816","brand":"Yasmine Seale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40894328078517,"sku":"9781631493638","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c0ab79e1-6e61-4667-a2c8-4ac8c5c90e50.jpg?v=1630415327","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-annotated-arabian-nights-tales-from-1001-nights-9781631493638","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
