Arabian Nights or One Thousand and One Nights (Andrew Lang) + New Arabian Nights (R. L. Stevenson)
Author: Robert Louis Stevenson
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 639
Book Description
This anthology unites the timeless allure of 'Arabian Nights or One Thousand and One Nights', translated and edited by Andrew Lang, with 'New Arabian Nights' by Robert Louis Stevenson, presenting an opulent tapestry of fantasy, adventure, and moral intricacies. The collection offers a panoramic view of not only the traditional tales that have fueled the imaginations of readers for centuries but also Stevenson's unique Victorian twist on the genre. These narratives span a gamut of literary styles from the mystical and whimsical, to gripping, suspense-filled dramas, showcasing the expansive range and adaptability of these stories across different cultural and temporal landscapes. The contributing authors, Lang and Stevenson, bring their distinct backgrounds to the compilation, reflecting the broader historical, cultural, and literary movements of their times. Lang's work as a folklorist and poet is evident in his sensitive approach to translation and adaptation, striving to maintain the spirit of the original tales. Stevenson, a luminary of the Scottish literary renaissance, imbues the collection with a darker, more complex psychological depth, expanding the narrative scope of the traditional tales. Together, these authors enhance and challenge our understanding of the 'Arabian Nights' stories, inviting readers to consider the thematic and stylistic shifts over time. For those intrigued by the power of storytelling and its ability to cross cultural boundaries, this anthology is an invaluable treasure. Readers are afforded the unique opportunity to traverse the rich landscapes of Middle Eastern folklore through the Victorian lens, gaining diverse perspectives on universal themes of morality, adventure, and human folly. This collection not only fosters a deeper appreciation for the art of storytelling across different periods but also encourages a dialogic engagement with the texts, making it an essential read for both aficionados of classic literature and newcomers eager to explore the storied tapestry of 'Arabian Nights'.
