520 "A groundbreaking translation-along with new commentary
and hundreds of images-enhances this celebratory
publication of the most famous story collection of all
time. Starting in 1999 with the publication of The
Definitive Annotated Alice, the Norton and Liveright
annotated books have become the leading series of classic,
illustrated works in the English language. The long-
anticipated publication of The Annotated Arabian Nights
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. Yasmine
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"--
