HAMPSON 1 heat or no heat, the windows have to be shut. nights like this, the wind winds down through the mountain passes and itches the skin on the backs of necks: anything can happen. 2 voices on the radio drop soundless as spring rain into the murmur of general conversation. his gloved hands tap lightly on the table-top as he whistles tunelessly to himself. his partner picks through a pack of cards, plucks out the jokers and lays down a mat face down in front of him. 285 286 The 'Arabian Nights' in English Literature the third hones his knife on the sole of his boot: tests its edge with his thumb. 3 Harry can't sleep. Mezz and the boys, night after night, have sought means to amuse him­ to cheat the time till dawn brings the tiredness that finally takes him. but tonight everything has failed. neither card-tricks nor knife-tricks - not even the prospect of nocturnal adventures down in the old town has lifted his gloom. they're completely at a loss. then the stranger enters: the same build the same face the same dress right down to the identical black leather gloves on the hands The False Caliph 287 which now tap contemptuously on the table while he whistles tunelessly as if to himself.

Stephan Guth's book is the result of conscientious research efforts and a great enthusiasm for the chosen subject. It contributes notably to the understanding of current literary developments in Egypt. Anyone dealing with modern Egyp- tian literature will find in it much valuable information and stimulating ideas. Charles University, Prague JAROSLAVOLIVERIUS DAVID PINAULT, Story-telling Techniques in the Arabian Nights, Leiden, E.J. Brill 1992. IX, 262 pp. (Studies in Arabic Literature. 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 Magic Horse
    The Magic Horse Once upon a time far away in the land of Persia a traveller approached the King’s palace. As he looked towards its spiralling towers and gates of gold, he could feel the excitement of the season stirring around him. A tinge of green was spreading across the dusty land and poppies bloomed in the meadows. It was Nowruz, the Spring Festival, when everyone celebrated the start of a new year. The traveller was a man of mysterious powers but, despite all the things he could do, he did not have what he really wanted. His heart beat fast as he thought of today’s plan. For many months he had been working toward his goal. Perhaps today he would achieve his heart’s desire. He joined the procession that was wending its way towards the castle gates. It was a cheerful crowd. Acrobats were limbering up beside the queue of people. Jugglers were juggling. Someone was carrying a cageful of singing birds. Each person was bringing their best skill or treasure to present to the King. It was the custom that the King would bestow a Nowruz gift on anyone that pleased him. When it was the traveller’s turn, he bowed low to the King and wheeled a large box before him. “In this box, Your Majesty, I have a horse such as you have never seen before. Upon its back I can fly through the air with great speed. And, what is more, I can teach anyone else to do the same.” “Let me see this wonder,” said the King.

    Tape Transcription Islam Lecture No. 1 Rule of Law Professor Ahmad Dallal ERIK JENSEN: Now, turning to the introduction of our distinguished lecturer this afternoon, Ahmad Dallal is a professor of Middle Eastern History at Stanford. He is no stranger to those of you within the Stanford community. Since September 11, 2002 [sic], Stanford has called on Professor Dallal countless times to provide a much deeper perspective on contemporary issues. Before joining Stanford's History Department in 2000, Professor Dallal taught at Yale and Smith College. Professor Dallal earned his Ph.D. in Islamic Studies from Columbia University and his academic training and research covers the history of disciplines of learning in Muslim societies and early modern and modern Islamic thought and movements. He is currently finishing a book-length comparative study of eighteenth century Islamic reforms. On a personal note, Ahmad has been terrifically helpful and supportive, as my teaching assistant extraordinaire, Shirin Sinnar, a third-year law student, and I developed this lecture series and seminar over these many months. Professor Dallal is a remarkable Stanford asset. Frederick the Great once said that one must understand the whole before one peers into its parts. Helping us to understand the whole is Professor Dallal's charge this afternoon. Professor Dallal will provide us with an overview of the historical development of Islamic law and may provide us with surprising insights into the relationship of Islam and Islamic law to the state and political authority. He assures us this lecture has not been delivered before. So without further ado, it is my absolute pleasure to turn over the podium to Professor Dallal.

  • On the Modern Politicization of the Persian Poet Nezami Ganjavi
    Official Digitized Version by Victoria Arakelova; with errata fixed from the print edition ON THE MODERN POLITICIZATION OF THE PERSIAN POET NEZAMI GANJAVI YEREVAN SERIES FOR ORIENTAL STUDIES Edited by Garnik S. Asatrian Vol.1 SIAVASH LORNEJAD ALI DOOSTZADEH ON THE MODERN POLITICIZATION OF THE PERSIAN POET NEZAMI GANJAVI Caucasian Centre for Iranian Studies Yerevan 2012 Siavash Lornejad, Ali Doostzadeh On the Modern Politicization of the Persian Poet Nezami Ganjavi Guest Editor of the Volume Victoria Arakelova The monograph examines several anachronisms, misinterpretations and outright distortions related to the great Persian poet Nezami Ganjavi, that have been introduced since the USSR campaign for Nezami‖s 800th anniversary in the 1930s and 1940s. The authors of the monograph provide a critical analysis of both the arguments and terms put forward primarily by Soviet Oriental school, and those introduced in modern nationalistic writings, which misrepresent the background and cultural heritage of Nezami. Outright forgeries, including those about an alleged Turkish Divan by Nezami Ganjavi and falsified verses first published in Azerbaijan SSR, which have found their way into Persian publications, are also in the focus of the authors‖ attention. An important contribution of the book is that it highlights three rare and previously neglected historical sources with regards to the population of Arran and Azerbaijan, which provide information on the social conditions and ethnography of the urban Iranian Muslim population of the area and are indispensable for serious study of the Persian literature and Iranian culture of the period. ISBN 978-99930-69-74-4 The first print of the book was published by the Caucasian Centre for Iranian Studies in 2012.

  • A Structural Approach to the Arabian Nights
    AWEJ. Special Issue on Literature No.2 October, 2014 Pp. 125- 136 A Structural Approach to The Arabian Nights Sura M. Khrais Department of English Language and Literature Princess Alia University College Al-Balqa Applied University Amman, Jordan Abstract This paper introduces a structural study of The Arabian Nights, Book III. The structural approach used by Vladimir Propp on the Russian folktales along with Tzvetan Todorov's ideas on the literature of the fantastic will be applied here. The researcher argues that structural reading of the chosen ten stories is fruitful because structuralism focuses on multiple texts, seeking how these texts unify themselves into a coherent system. This approach enables readers to study the text as a manifestation of an abstract structure. The paper will concentrate on three different aspects: character types, narrative technique and setting (elements of place). First, the researcher classifies characters according to their contribution to the action. Propp's theory of the function of the dramatist personae will be adopted in this respect. The researcher will discuss thirteen different functions. Then, the same characters will be classified according to their conformity to reality into historical, imaginative, and fairy characters. The role of the fairy characters in The Arabian Nights will be highlighted and in this respect Vladimir's theory of the fantastic will be used to study the significance of the supernatural elements in the target texts. Next, the narrative techniques in The Arabian Nights will be discussed in details with a special emphasis on the frame story technique. Finally, the paper shall discuss the features of place in the tales and show their distinctive yet common elements.

  • TALES of the ARABIAN NIGHTS FAQ V1.0 Thanks to Kevin Maroney
    TALES OF THE ARABIAN NIGHTS FAQ v1.0 Thanks to Kevin Maroney and Sterling Babcock. THE GOLDEN RULE: The Golden Rule of Tales of the Arabian Nights is, "Whatever makes for the most entertaining story, makes for the best game." The rules are pretty simple, and we don't want to try to address here every possible situation that could come up during the game, so if you come across something where you're not sure how to continue, go for the option that produces the most entertaining story.
