As the object of the present translation was in the first place, and still is, to parallel Dr.Mardrus’ ideal of a simple and unannotated version of the complete work for the entertainment of the casual reader, the system of transliteration adopted here, though it gives a consistency lacking in my first edition and in the French of Dr. Mardrus, has been simplified almost beyond the approval of scholars. I have taken this course because I have been assured by experts on the subject that the Anglo-Saxon eye, when reading for pleasure, invariably shies at and side-steps any foreign word decorated with diacritical points or such sound-signs as ‘(for ‘ain) and’ (for aliph). The long vowels are marked in order that the reader may have some idea of the rhythm intended, but all other signs are omitted lest they should spoil his enjoyment of the text. Such a simplification allows, of course, of misunderstanding; it does not, for instance, show that Abu Ishak, Harun’s musician, should be pronounced Is-hak; but such occasional losses seem, when we bear in mind the purpose of the translation, more than counterbalanced by the gain in ease of reading and to the eye. P.M. This revised edition of The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night is affectionately dedicated to JACK ISAACS who liked the work in its first and more imperfect form P. M . As Allah Wills! In the Name of Allah The Merciful, The Compassionate! Praise be to Allah, master of the Universe! And prayer and peace upon the Prince of Messengers, Muhammad our lord paramount! And upon all his people prayer and peace together for ever until the judgment day! And afterwards! may the legends of the men of old be lessons to the people of our time, so that a man may see those things which befell others beside himself: then he will honour and consider carefully the words and adventures of past peoples, and will reprove himself. Also glory be to him who preserved the tales of the first dwellers to be a guide for the purposes of the last! Now it is from among these lessons that the stories called The Thousand Nights and One Night are taken; together with all that there is in them of wonder and instruction. The Tale of King Shahrya-r and of his Brother, King Shahzama-n T is related—but All&h is all wise and all knowing, all powerful Iand all beneficent—that there was, in the tide and show of ancient time and the passage of the age and of the moment, a king among the kings of S&s&n, in the isles of India and China. He was master of armies and auxiliaries, of slaves and of a great following; and he had two sons, one tall and the other small. Both were heroic horsemen; but the taller was the greater in this exercise and reigned over lands and governed with justice among men, so that the peoples of the land and of the kingdom loved him. His name was King Shahry&r. The smaller brother was called King Shahzam&n and ruled over Samarkand al-Ajam. Both lived in their countries and were just rulers of the people for a space of twenty years; by the end of which time each was at the height of his splendour and his growth. This was the way with them until the tall king was seized by a violent longing to see his brother. Then he commanded his Waz(r to depart and return with him: and the Waz(r answered: ‘I hear and I obey.’ The Waz(r set out and, arriving in all security by the grace of All&h, entered the presence of the brother, wished him peace, and told him the purpose of his journey. King Shahzam&n answered: ‘I hear and I obey.’ Then he made preparations for his departure and for the going out of his tents, his camels, and mules; his slaves and fighting-men.

Supplements to the Journal of Arabic Literature, ed. M.M. Badawi and J. N. Mattock, Vol. XV). This book has its origin in a doctoral dissertation, finished in 1986 at the University of Pennsylvania. The author wants to address the general reader as well as the student of Arabic literature, so he gives all the Arabic passages in translation and summarizes the plots of the stories before he analyzes them. He defines his main purpose as to find out "What narrative techniques are favored by the Alf Lailah story tellers for engaging an audience? And: In what ways does the redactor make use of pre-existent material?" (p. IX). To be able to answer this question he compares the different printed versions of the stories he analyzes: Bflaq (II), Macnaghten (not MacNaghten), to a very limited extent Habicht and, of course, the Leiden edition of Galland's manuscript by Muhsin Mahdi. He also compares some of the stories he analyzes with similar or nearly identical stories which he has found in hitherto unpublished manuscripts of anthologies of popular narrative independent of "The Nights", to be found in some North African and French libraries.

The author of the Trésor is seen at this location, as is an advisor to Frederick II who was blinded for supposed treachery. Another person in this location is depicted as lying on his back in echo of the Thebiad. This location is where Pier della Vigna and Capaneus are encountered. Many former residents of the city of Cahors are found in this location, as is Bruno Lattini. A river of blood in this location contains men who are prevented from climbing out by arrows fired by centaurs. Access to this location is impeded by a pile of boulders, on top of which sits the Minotaur, who begins to bite himself and buck about, upon hearing the name of Theseus. Certain people here are changed into trees gnawed at by the Harpies in this location.

  • The Influence of the Arabian Nights on Modern Young Adult Literature
    Volume 4, issue 7, 2014 e-ISSN: 1857-8187 p-ISSN: 1857-8179 Review Article Linguistics & Literature The Influence of The Arabian Nights on Modern Young Adult Literature: Midwinter Keywords: Cliff hanger, intertexuality, mythogenic, Leitwortstil, narratology, unreliable Blood and In Darkness as Examples narrator, embedded narrative. Brahim Bouali University of North Carolina Abstract The aim of this paper is to avoid the impressionism that may result from ad hoc personal opinion and consider the whole Arabian nights as a multi-dimensional genre or better canon genre from which artists continue to be inspired.The novelty in this study may be summarized in two points. First, it attempts to consider One Thousand and a Night as a canon genre that in a way proves the limitation of classical genre categorization/nomenclature and pushes us to introduce new terms in genre theory such as the notion of the canon genre and even the concept of anti-genre which will be dealt furtively with in this paper. Second, it attempts to study its degree of influence on modern young adult literature represented by Midwinter Blood and in Darkness both Winners, successively, of the 2013 and 2014 Michael L. Printz awards. This linguistic study of a celebrated literary work such as ―the Arabian Nights‖ will fill a gap in the literature and pave the ground towards a better communication between east and west. Derrida and Blanchot2 may be right when they consider genre as an imposition on a text. They seem to agree that a text achieves its singularity status only by ―exceeding genre conventions‖.

MUSIC FOR THE INTERNATIONAL MASSES: AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY, THE RECORDING INDUSTRY, AND PUNK ROCK IN THE COLD WAR by MINDY CLEGG Under the Direction of ALEX SAYF CUMMINGS, PhD ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the connections between US foreign policy initiatives, the global expansion of the American recording industry, and the rise of punk in the 1970s and 1980s. The material support of the US government contributed to the globalization of the recording industry and functioned as a facet American-style consumerism. As American culture spread, so did questions about the Cold War and consumerism. As young people began to question the Cold War order they still consumed American mass culture as a way of rebelling against the establishment. But corporations complicit in the Cold War produced this mass culture. Punks embraced cultural rebellion like hippies.

  • The Enemies of Women
    The Enemies of Women By Vicente Blasco Ibáñez THE ENEMIES OF WOMEN CHAPTER I THE Prince repeated his statement: "Man's greatest wisdom consists in getting along without women." He intended to go on but was interrupted. There was a slight stir of the heavy window curtains. Through their parting was seen below, as in a frame, the intense azure of the Mediterranean. A dull roar reached the dining-room. It seemed to come from the side of the house facing the Alps. It was a faint vibration, deadened by the walls, the curtains, and the carpets, distant, like the working of some underground monster; but there rose above the sound of revolving steel and the puffing of steam a clamor of human beings, a sudden burst of shouts and whistling. "A train full of soldiers!" exclaimed Don Marcos Toledo, leaving his chair. "The Colonel is at it again, always the hero, always enthusiastic about everything that has to do with his profession," said Atilio Castro, with a smile of amusement. In spite of his years, the man whom they called the Colonel sprang to the nearest window. Above the foliage of the sloping garden, he could see a small section of the Corniche railroad, swallowed up in the smoky entrance of a tunnel, and reappearing farther on, beyond the hill, among the groves and rose colored villas of Cap-Martin. Under the mid-day sun the rails quivered like rills of molten steel. Although the train had not yet reached this side of the tunnel, the whole country-side was filled with the ever- increasing roar.

Praise, therefore, be to Him who hath made the histories of the past an admonition unto the present! Now of such instances are the tales called "A Thousand Nights and a Night," together with their far−famed legends and wonders. Therein it is related (but Allah it is All−knowing of His hidden things and All−ruling and All−honored and All−giving and All−gracious and All−merciful!) that in tide of yore and in time long gone before, there was a King of the Kings of the Banu Sasan in the islands of India and China, a Lord of armies and guards and servants and dependents.
