  • Introduction
    1 Introduction A jackal who had fallen into a vat of indigo dye decided to exploit his mar- velous new appearance and declared himself king of the forest. He ap- pointed the lions and other animals as his vassals, but took the precaution of having all his fellow jackals driven into exile. One day, hearing the howls of the other jackals in the distance, the indigo jackal’s eyes filled with tears and he too began to howl. The lions and the others, realizing the jackal’s true nature, sprang on him and killed him. This is one of India’s most widely known fables, and it is hard to imagine that anyone growing up in an Indian cultural milieu would not have heard it. The indigo jackal is as familiar to Indian childhood as are Little Red Rid- ing Hood or Snow White in the English-speaking world. The story has been told and retold by parents, grandparents, and teachers for centuries in all the major Indian languages, both classical and vernacular. Versions of the collec- tion in which it first appeared, the Pañcatantra, are still for sale at street stalls and on railway platforms all over India. The indigo jackal and other narratives from the collection have successfully colonized the contemporary media of television, CD, DVD, and the Internet. I will begin by sketching the history and development of the various families of Pañcatantra texts where the story of the indigo jackal first ap- peared, starting with Pu–rnabhadra’s. recension, the version on which this inquiry is based.

Ortaya koyduğu toplum teorisi ve erken modern Batı toplumu örnekliği ile yazıldığı dönemin ender eserlerinden biri olan Arılar Masalı, bu çalışmada öncelikle döneminin düşünsel birikiminin bir parçası olarak değerlendirilecektir. Daha sonra metnin şu ana kadarki iktisadi ve ahlaki açıklama ve yorumlarının ötesine geçilmeye çalışılarak, edebi bir metin olarak ele alınacaktır. Fabl türü ve temsil getirme metodu ile siyasi ve ahlaki bir toplum teorisi kuran eserin, bir edebiyat ürünü olarak döneminin neresinde bulunduğu açıklanacaktır.

Buschmann, Antwerpen 1903 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_die004190301_01/colofon.php © 2011 dbnl i.s.m. 1 [Deel 1] Een kunstjuweel SLAPEND een middeneeuwschen slaap gewiegd door dichterlijke droomen, ligt Brugge te midden van onze moderne wereld als een kunststuk uit het verleden. Eén kunststuk - want alles is één in deze stad, stralend van de zelfde schoonheid, ademend den zelfden bovenaardschen vrede, ingetogen in de zelfde vroomheid, dragend het zelfde diep ingeprent karakter van mystieke zaligheid: de torens rijzend in de stille, sober gekleurde lucht, het roerlooze water, het hangende loof, de gothische nokken beschenen door gulden avondlicht. O Brugge, levend gedicht in steen, geluidlooze zang, gebed gevat in onsterfelijke kunstvormen, gij zijt niet alleen het keurigste juweel van onze vaderlandsche kroon, in U is nog de bronader, het hart te zoeken van ons innigste Vlaamsch leven, dat leven gekneed uit vroomheid en vrede. Vroomheid en vrede ging ik er ook zoeken. Mijn gemoed, geschokt door diepe zielesmart, haakte naar de lafenis van zoetvloeiende zangen, naar het vermeien in frissche kleuren: het congres van kerk- Dietsche Warande en Belfort. Jaargang 1903 2 muziek, de tentoonstelling der oude meesters, ja, de stad zelve met hare innemende pracht lokten mij aan. Hoe ging de werkelijkheid de verwachting te boven! Zang, kleur, gebouwen, alles smolt in een tot één geheel van artistieke schoonheid, van streelende bekoorlijkheid. De muziek vooreerst: stijgend, zwevend, in elkander smeltend, en sluitend in de omhelzing der volkomene liefde, klonken de hemelsche tonen der zestiende eeuwsche meesters - Vittoria, Orlandus Lassus, Palestrina, - en ontvoerden de ziel op vleugelen van ideale schoonheid ten hooge, in de reine sfeer van 't bovenaardsche.

  • MA Thesis Final Draft
    “YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND” AND OTHER FICTIONS: RELUCTANT POSSESSIONS IN RICHARD BURTON’S “ALADDIN” By Dan Fang Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in English August, 2011 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Rachel Teukolsky Dana Nelson The Arabian Nights Entertainments is a work of fantasy, mystery, and the imagination. In it we find bewitching princesses, strange beasts, terrifying jinnis, and epic voyages; from it we draw stories and images that fill our culture with wonder. Since its introduction to the West by Antoine Galland in 1704, stories from the Nights have been rewritten and reworked into everything from children’s stories to operas, musicals to movies. Of all of the stories from the Nights—which consist of more than 400 that a clever girl, Scheherazade, tells to her husband the Sultan over a thousand and one nights in order to stay her execution—the stories of Aladdin and his magical lamp, Ali Baba and his forty thieves, and Sinbad and his seven voyages are arguably the most popular. And since the production of Disney’s 1992 animated feature film, “Aladdin” has become perhaps the most popular of the tales in Western culture. The popularity of “Aladdin” is not a late 20th Century phenomenon, however. Aside from versions of Scheherazade’s own story, “Aladdin” was the first to be incorporated into the British theater.1 Throughout the 19th and 20th Centuries, “Aladdin” has been incorporated into countless collections of children’s bedtime stories, picture books both cheaply accessible and gloriously exquisite, even into handbooks for English instruction in grammar schools.

  • Les Fables De La Fontaine Et Leurs Sources Orientales
    Les Fables de La Fontaine et leurs Sources Orientales Dr. Mohammed Hadjadj-Aoul Université de Tlemcen Synergies Algérie Résumé : En matière de fables, les sources de La Fontaine ont été aussi diverses que variées. Deux grands pôles cependant retiennent l’attention du 243-250 n° 5 - 2009 pp. comparatiste ; il s’agit de la double source antique occidentale et orientale, en l’occurrence le Grec Esope et l’Indou Bidpay. Bien qu’elles aient agit sur lui parallèlement et à part égale, il reste que la source indoue demeure moins claire et moins bien expliquée tant dans les développements qu’a connus le texte qu’à travers les dédales méandriques parcourus en une vingtaine de siècles. Tâcher de rendre plus claires les voies empruntées par la fable orientale a été notre souci majeur dans cet exposé. Mots-Clés : Fable - Jean de La fontaine- Bidpay - Esope. Abstract: The sources of Jean de La Fontaine fables were diverse and varied. Two major centers, retained however the attention of comparative literature: the double antique Western and Eastern sources, and more exactly the Greek Esope and Hindu Bidpay. Although their influence were the same and equal, it is the Hindu source that remained less clear and less explained regarding the developments in the text through more than two decades. Our paper tries to clarify the routes token by the Eastern fable.

Published in 1704-1716, Antoine Galland’s Les Milles et Une Nuits: contes arabes traduits en Français (The One Thousand and One Nights: Arab Tales Translated in French)was nothing short of an international phenomenon. Galland’s volumes sold out instantly and even appeared in English Grub street editions well before he was finished translating them in French. Then came the translations of two Englishmen, Edward Lane’s The Arabian Nights’ Entertainments, published in 1838-1840 and Sir Richard Francis Burton’s A Plain and Literal Translation of the Arabian Nights’ Entertainments Now Entituled The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, published in 1885- 1888. It soon became a rare works that appealed to both the common man and the cognoscenti alike. It’s fair to remark that the Arabian Nights’ western fame was due in large part, if not entirely, to Galland, Lane, and Burton. Key words: Jinns (Genies), Orientalism, Burton’s English

  • KALILA Wa DEMNA I. Redactions and Circulation in Persian Literature
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Columbia University Academic Commons KALILA wa DEMNA i. Redactions and circulation In Persian literature Kalila wa Demna has been known in different versions since the 6th century CE. KALILA wa DEMNA i. Redactions and circulation In Persian literature Kalila wa Demna has been known in different versions since the 6th century CE. The complex relations between the extant New Persian versions, a lost Sanskrit original, and a lost Middle Persian translation have been studied since 1859 when the German Indologist Theodor Benfey (1809- 1881), a pioneer of comparative folklore studies, published a translation of extant Sanskrit versions of the Pañcatantra (lit. “five topics”; for the debate about possible interpretations of the Sanskrit title, see Pañcatantra, tr. Olivelle, pp. xiii-xiv). The scholarly construction of the migration of an Indian story cycle into Near and Middle Eastern languages has received considerable attention, because the project touches on the fundamental question of how to conceive of national and international literary histories if narrative traditions have moved freely between Indo-Iranian and Semitic languages. Two philological approaches dominate the research. Johannes Hertel (1872-1955; q.v.), Mojtabā Minovi (Plate i), and others have focused on editing the earliest versions as preserved in Sanskrit and New Persian manuscripts, while Franklin Edgerton (1885-1963) and François de Blois have created 20th century synthesized versions of the lost Sanskrit and Middle Persian texts. The circulation of Kalila wa Demna in Persian literature documents how Iran mediated the diffusion of knowledge between the Indian subcontinent and the Mediterranean.

The Polish Translations of The Thousand and One Nights ABSTRACT: The author discusses the Polish twentieth-century translations of The Thousand and One Nights indicating different translation strategies and shortcomings of the Polish versions of the book. This article also signalises the process of mythologisation, orientalisa- tion, and fairytalisation of the tales. The author indicates the need of retranslation of The Thousand and One Nights and proposes to perceive the translations of the book and its numerous versions and adaptations through the metaphor of the sesame overfilled with translation treasures which are ‘discovered’ by the reader in the act of reading. KEYWORDS: The Thousand and One Nights, Polish translations, translation, fairytalisation It would be challenging to find a reader who has not heard of Schehera- zade’s stories, Aladdin’s magic lamp, Sinbad or Ali Baba. The cycle of The Thousand and One Nights has been translated into a plethora of European languages and has been retranslated many times (also into Polish).
