Starting in 1999 with the publication of The Definitive Annotated
Alice, the Norton and Liveright annotated books have become the
leading series of classic, illustrated works in the English
language. The long-anticipated publication of The Annotated Arabian
Nights extends this tradition with a strikingly modern
translation-the first of Shahrazad's tales into English by a
woman-as well as erudite notes that will illuminate the stories for
both dedicated readers and newcomers. Yasmine Seale's translations
from both Arabic and French capture the musicality and rhythm of
the Nights' poetry and prose, while Paulo Lemos Horta's annotations
wrestle with the extraordinarily complex origins and history of the
stories, showing that, far from being inventions of French
antiquarians or English explorers, they have clear antecedents in
Arabic folklore and tradition. This stunningly illustrated edition
selects core stories as well as treasured later additions such as
"Aladdin" and "Ali Baba" to offer an unparalleled account of a
cornerstone of world literature that can be treasured by children,
students and literature-lovers alike.
