Tales from 1,001 Nights

Amazing book!

Meine Tochter liebt diese Bücher in diesen Covers. Es ist schon ihr 12 und sie/wir sind von allen begeistert und zufrieden!

A truly beautiful cloth-bound edition of one of the most unforgettable collections of stories in history. There is a haunting quality about these tales which never leaves you. Recommended both for bedtime stories, and for adults wishing to reacquaint themselves with these timeless legends.

Ottimo

This is an elegant hardcover (clothbound) collector's edition of the Tales from 1001 Nights. Though an abridged edition, you could find all the necessary Tales of the Arabian Nights in it. There are several English translations of the Nights available in the market. (The most famous is Sir Richard Burton's 1885 translation; but its archaic literary style makes it heavy going for the modern reader.) What makes the Lyons' translation preferable to the others is its modern, contemporary narrative style. There is a paperback edition of the same book available in Penguin Classics, but I urge you to get this hardback edition coz a classic you're not going to throw away once you've done reading, right? These Penguin Clothbound Classics are a delight to have them in a bookshelf, that I can assure you. Happy Reading!
