The Thousand and One Nights and Twentieth-century Fiction

Brill, 2018. Hardcover. Pp: 832. It is gradually being acknowledged that the Arabic story-collection Thousand and One Nights has had a major influence on European and world literature. This study analyses the influence of Thousand and One Nights, as an intertextual model, on 20th-century prose from all over the world. Works of approximately forty authors are examined: those who were crucial to the development of the main currents in 20th-century fiction, such as modernism, magical realism and post-modernism. The book contains six thematic sections divided into chapters discussing two or three authors/works, each from a narratological perspective and supplemented by references to the cultural and literary context. It is shown how Thousand and One Nights became deeply rooted in modern world literature especially in phases of renewal and experiment. ISBN: 9789004362536. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

[ARABIAN NIGHTS]. LANE, Edward William (translator).

The thousand and one nights, commonly called, in England, the Arabian nights’ entertainments.London, Charles Knight and Co. (back of title-page volume 1 & 3: William Clowes and sons; volume 2: Whitehead & Co.), 1840 (vol. 2)-1841 (vols. 1 & 3). 3 volumes. 8vo in 4s. With a different lithographed title page for each volume and hundreds of wood-engraved illustrations in the text. 19th-century red morocco (signed on flyleaf: “Jefferies & Sons, Bristol” - the sons joined the firm in 1863), richly gold-tooled spines, boards, board edges, and turn-ins, gilt edges.

XXXII, 618; XII, 643, [1]; XII, 763, [1] pp.Attractively bound set of the first accurate English translation of the Alf laylah wa-laylah, commonly known in English as the Arabian Nights. The British orientalist Edward William Lane (1801-1876) lived in Egypt for several years and had integrated well with the Arabic population.The first printing of vol. 1 (1839) appears to have sold out by the time vol. 3 was printed, so the complete sets were published with a new printing of vol. 1, matching the first printing line for line. Since the publisher switched printers (from Whitehead to Clowes) between volumes 2 and 3, the new printing of vol. 1 omits the reference to Whitehead as printer and apparently also the translator’s advertisement.With the bookplate of the American collector Henry T. Cox, whose library was auctioned in 1899, and the library stamps of the American businessman Henry T. Sloane (1845-1937). A very good set.l Jack Ross, Scheherazade's web: the 1001 nights & comparative literature (http://dinarzade.blogspot.com), bibliography 24 (with vol. 1 in 1839 printing).

Burton, Richard F.

'the Book of Thousand Nights and a Night' [Complete in 10 Volumes] Together with 'Supplemental Nights to the Book of the Thousand and One Nights with Notes Anthropological and Explanatory' [Complete in 6 Volumes}

S. l. Privately Printed by the Burton Club. Complete set of 16 volumes, n. d. (ca 1920s); 9 1/4 x 6 1/2; black cloth over boards; the first 10 volumes printed and decorated in gilt, the other 6 - in silver; each illustrated with portrait frontis; generally mild wear - some of the volumes with a bit of rubbing to gilt and silver; volume I with a small spot to spine; a few small spots to top edge of text block; overall in very good or better condition. Richard Francis Burton (1821 - 1890) was a British author, explorer, captain in the army of the East India Company and polyglot - allegedly fluent in twenty-nine languages. Arguably his most famous work - the current translation of the commonly called Arabian Nights - was considered pornography when published and contained the most explicit description of homosexuality in any language for a long period of time. Very good .
