Book Synopsis The Arabian Nights by : Smith, Wiggin,Parrish
Download or read book The Arabian Nights written by Smith, Wiggin,Parrish and published by 谷月社. This book was released on 2015-11-12 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is as much doubt about the history of "The Thousand and One Nights" as that which veils the origin of the Homeric poems. It is said that a certain Caliph Shahryar, having been deceived by his wife, slew her, and afterwards married a wife only for one day, slaying her on the morning after. When this slaughter of women had continued some time he became wedded to one Shahrazad, daughter of his Vizir, who, by telling the Commander of the Faithful exciting stories and leaving them unfinished every dawn, so provoked the Caliph's curiosity that he kept her alive, and at last grew so fond of her that he had no thought of putting her to death. As for the authorship of the stories, they are certainly not the work of one mind, and have probably grown with the ages into their present form. The editions published for Christian countries do not represent the true character of these legends, which are often exceedingly sensual. The European versions of this extraordinary entertainment began in 1704 with the work of one Antoine Galland, Professor of Arabic at the College of France, a Frenchman who, according to Sir Richard Burton, possessed "in a high degree that art of telling a tale which is far more captivating than culture or scholarship." Sir R. Burton (see Vol. XIX) summed up what may be definitely believed of the Nights in the following conclusion: The framework of the book is purely Persian perfunctorily Arabised, the archetype being the Hazar Afsanah. The oldest tales may date from the reign of Al-Mansur, in the eighth century; others belong to the tenth century; and the latest may be ascribed to the sixteenth. The work assumed its present form in the thirteenth century. The author is unknown, "for the best reason; there never was one." I.--The Seven Voyages of Sindbad the Sailor When the father of Sindbad was taken to Almighty Allah, much wealth came to the possession of his son; but soon did it dwindle in boon companionship, for the city of Baghdad is sweet to the youthful. Then did Sindbad bethink him how he might restore his fortune, saying to himself: "Three things are better than other three; the day of death is better than the day of birth, a live dog is better than a dead lion, and the grave is better than want"; and gathering merchandise together, he took ship and sailed away to foreign countries. Now it came to pass that the captain of this ship sighted a strange island, whereon were grass and trees, very pleasant to the eyes. So they anchored, and many went ashore. When these had gathered fruits, they made a fire, and were about to warm themselves, when the captain cried out from the ship: "Ho there! passengers, run for your lives and hasten back to the ship and leave your gear and save yourselves from destruction. Allah preserve you! For this island whereon ye stand is no true island, but a great fish stationary a-middlemost of the sea, whereon the sand hath settled and trees have sprung up of old time, so that it is become like unto an island; but when ye lighted fires on it, it felt the heat and moved; and in a moment it will sink with you into the depths of the sea and ye will be drowned."...
Book Synopsis ARABIAN NIGHTS their 11 best known tales by : Anon E. Mouse
Download or read book ARABIAN NIGHTS their 11 best known tales written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowhere in the whole realm of literature will you find such a Marvel, such a Wonder, such a Nonesuch of a book; nowhere will you find impossibilities so real and so convincing than in the Tales of a Thousand and One nights, also known as the Tales from the Arabian Nights. The scene is Indian, Egyptian, Arabian, Persian; but Bagdad and Balsora, Grand Cairo, the silver Tigris and the golden Euphrates, and the blooming gardens of Damascus, though they can be found indeed on the map, live much more truly in the enchanted realms of these tales. Herein you will find eleven of the most popular tales of the Arabian Nights, taken from the original two hundred and sixty four, with color illustrations by Maxfield Parrish. Here you will find Tales of The Talking Bird, The Singing Tree, and The Golden Water, The Story of The Fisherman and the Genie, The History of the Young King of the Black Isles, The Story of Gulnare of the Sea, The Story of Aladdin; or, The Wonderful Lamp, The Story of Prince Agib, The Story of the City Of Brass, The Story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, The History of Codadad and His Brothers and The Seven Voyages Of Sinbad the Sailor. Once a child has once read of Prince Agib, of Gulnare or Periezade, Sinbad or Codadad, in this or any other volume of its kind, the magic will have been instilled into their blood forever, for the Oriental flavour in the Arab tales is like nothing so much as magic. NOTE: The editors have purposely shortened the stories so as to keep a child’s attention, omitting some of the tedious repetitions that creep in from time to time when Arabian story-tellers were embellishing the text to suit their purposes.

Book Synopsis The Works of Maria Edgeworth, Part I Vol 8 by : Marilyn Butler
Download or read book The Works of Maria Edgeworth, Part I Vol 8 written by Marilyn Butler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how Maria Edgewoth drew on her knowledge of the life of writings of James Harrington in composing that tale. It serves to draw in a more local reference: Florence Court Demesne in County Fermanagh was built around 1750 and originally named for Florence Wrey, wife of Sir John Cole. MARIA EDGEWORTH was born in 1768. Her first novel, Castle Rackrent (1800) was also her first Irish tale. The next such tale was Ennui (1809), after which came The Absentee, which began life as an unstaged play and was then published (in prose) in Tales of Fashionable Life (1812), as were several of her other stories. They were followed in 1817 by the last of her Irish tales, Ormond. Maria Edgeworth died in 1849. Edited with an introduction and notes by Marilyn Butler.
