Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book unveils the ancient literary history of one of the most well-known tales from "The Arabian Nights". The charming yet morally complex story of Abikar, the Vizier who lost everything through the treachery of his nephew Nadan, is explored by the author in its literary and historical contexts, drawing connections to the Biblical Apocrypha and investigating the surprising diffusion of the tale across cultures and languages. The author presents evidence to suggest that the story of Abikar, far from being a simple tale for entertainment, is a complex and sophisticated story with ancient origins, perhaps even pre-dating the Biblical Apocrypha from which it has been traditionally believed to derive. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781331748878_0
