Description

The Arabian Nights by Muhsin Mahdi and Daniel Heller-Roazen is a unique and lesser-known English translation of this beloved literary work. First appearing in English barely two hundred years ago, the tales are accompanied by a preface, note, and explanatory annotations. This edition includes three related works by notable writers Edgar Allan Poe, Marcel Proust, and Taha Husayn, as well as eleven essays on its central themes from prominent critics Hugo von Hofmannsthal to David Pinault. A Chronology of The Arabian Nights and a Selected Bibliography are also included for further exploration. This collection presents the stories in their original context, alongside historical and critical perspectives that shed new light on this fascinating literary work.
