Langbeschreibung
?[A]n electric new translation . . . Each page is adorned with illustrations and photographs from other translations and adaptations of the tales, as well as a wonderfully detailed cascade of notes that illuminate the stories and their settings. . . . The most striking feature of the Arabic tales is their shifting registers?prose, rhymed prose, poetry?and Seale captures the movement between them beautifully.? ?Yasmine Al-Sayyad, New Yorker
A magnificent and richly illustrated volume?with a groundbreaking translation framed by new commentary and hundreds of images?of the most famous story collection of all time.
