Beschreibung

This book contents a complete collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights. The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars. The thing common to all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry?r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. Contents: Jonathan Scott 1811 Translation John Payne 1884 Translation Richard Francis Burton 1885 Translation Andrew Lang 1885 Translation Julia Pardoe 1857 Adaptation
