The Arabian Nights is your magic carpet ride to exotic lands full
of wonders and marvels. First collected nearly a thousand years
ago, these folktales are presented as stories that crafty
Scheherazade tells her husband, King Shahryar, over a
thousand-and-one consecutive nights, to pique his interest for the
next evening's entertainment and thereby save her life. Among them
are some of the best-known legends of eastern storytelling,
including the "Sinbad the Sailor," "Aladdin and His Magic Lamp,"
and "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves." This collection features more
than twenty stories, in the classic translation of Sir Richard
Burton, published between 1884 and 1886, and full-colour
illustrations by Renata Fucikova and Jindra Capek. The Arabian
Nights is one of Barnes & Noble's Leatherbound classics. Each
volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors
in an exquisitely designed bonded-leather binding, with distinctive
gilt edging and a silk-ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and
collectible, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young
and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for every home
library.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
