"The resourceful Shahrazad .has never been more entertaining than in this fresh and vigorous version of this immortal book." - Doris Lessing, The Independent. "Indispensable .Not a new version of an old favorite, but a work we've never known." - Geoffrey O'Brien, Voice Literary Supplement. "A fine new translation . Bawdy, colloquial and wondrously inventive, the tales have influenced such disparate writers as John Barth, D.M. Thomas, Jorge Luis Borges, and Martin Amis, all of whom have embraced Shahrazad as the ultimate symbol of the storyteller's art." - Michiko Kakutani, New York Times. "Easily the clearest, most fluent and readable translation." - A.S. Byatt, Sunday Times (London). "A distinguished new translation." - Edward Said, The Nation. " "Shahrazad turned to King Shahrayar and said, 'May I have your permission to tell a story?' He replied, 'Yes,' and Shahrazad was very happy and said, 'Listen' ." The stories of The Arabian Nights (and stories within stories, and stories within stories within stories) are famously told in the voice of Shahrazad, under threat of death should the king lose interest in her tale. Collected over centuries from India, Persia, and Arabia, and ranging from adventure fantasies, vivacious erotica, and animal fables to pointed Sufi tales, these stories provided the daily entertainment of the medieval Islamic world at the height of its glory. No one knows exactly when a given story originated, and many circulated orally for centuries before being written down; but in the process of telling and retelling, they were modified to reflect the general life and customs of the Arab society that adapted them -- a distinctive synthesis that marks the cultural and artistic history of Islam. This translation is of the complete text of the Mahdi edition, the definitive Arabic edition of a fourteenth-century Syrian manuscript, which is the oldest surviving version of the tales and considered to be the most authentic." - from the inner front French-style soft cover flap.…

Soft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Arabic Literature for the Classroom argues for a more visible presence of Arabic within the humanities and social sciences, stressing the need to make Arabic literature available as a world literature, without damaging its own distinctive characteristics. The nineteen chapters which make up this book broach theoretical and methodical cultural concerns in teaching literatures from non-American cultures, along with issues of cross-cultural communication, cultural competency and translation. While some chapters bring out the fascinating and ever tantalizing connections between Arabic and the literatures of medieval Europe, others employ specific approaches to teaching particular texts, potential methodologies, themes and a variety of topics that can place Arabic widely in a vast swathe of academic application and learning. Topics that are explored include gender, race, class, trauma, exile, dislocation, love, rape, humor, and cinema, as well as issues that relate to writers and poets, women's writing and the so called nahdah (revival) movement in the 19th Century. …
