VOLUME ONE 4 The One Thousand Nights And A Night Vol. 1 THE TRANSLATOR'S FOREWORD. This work, labourious as it may appear, has been to me a labour of love, an unfailing source of solace and satisfaction. During my long years of official banishment to the luxuriant and deadly deserts of Western Africa, and to the dull and dreary half clearings of South America, it proved itself a charm, a talisman against ennui and despondency. Impossible even to open the pages without a vision starting into view; with out drawing a picture from the pinacothek of the brain; without reviving a host of memories and reminiscences which are not the common property of travellers, however widely they may have travelled. From my dull and commonplace and "respectable" surroundings, the Jinn bore me at once to the land of my predilection, Arabia, a region so familiar to my mind that even at first sight, it seemed a reminiscence of some by gone metem−psychic life in the distant Past. Again I stood under the diaphanous skies, in air glorious as aether, whose every breath raises men's spirits like sparkling wine. Once more I saw the evening star hanging like a solitaire from the pure front of the western firmament; and the after glow transfiguring and transforming, as by magic, the homely and rugged features of the scene into a fairy land lit with a light which never shines on other soils or seas. Then would appear the woollen tents, low and black, of the true Badawin, mere dots in the boundless waste of lion tawny clays and gazelle brown gravels, and the camp fire dotting like a glow worm the village centre. Presently, sweetened by distance, would be heard the wild weird song of lads and lasses, driving or rather pelting, through the gloaming their sheep and goats; and the measured chant of the spearsmen gravely stalking behind

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.

Cassini observes the active south pole of Enceladus. Science 311, 1393–1401.]. We combined these images with lower resolution Cassini images and four others taken by Voyager cameras to produce a high-resolution global controlled mosaic of Enceladus. This global mosaic is the baseline for a high-resolution Enceladus atlas that consists of 15 tiles mapped at a scale of 1:500,000. The nomenclature used in this atlas was proposed by the Cassini imaging team and was approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).

Just before leaving this location, a story about the origin of certain rivers is told, involving a statue that is made of a gold head, silver chest, brass midection, iron legs, and one clay foot, which stands on Mount Ida. 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‖.

  • 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.

  • A Global Shape Model for Saturn's Moon Enceladus
    ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume V-3-2020, 2020 XXIV ISPRS Congress (2020 edition) A GLOBAL SHAPE MODEL FOR SATURN’S MOON ENCELADUS FROM A DENSE PHOTOGRAMMETRIC CONTROL NETWORK M. T. Bland*, L. A. Weller., D. P. Mayer, B. A. Archinal Astrogeology Science Center, U.S. Geological Survey, 2255 N. Gemini Dr., Flagstaff, AZ 86001 ([email protected]) Commission III, ICWG III/II KEY WORDS: Enceladus, Shape Model, Topography, Photogrammetry ABSTRACT: A planetary body’s global shape provides both insight into its geologic evolution, and a key element of any Planetary Spatial Data Infrastructure (PSDI). NASA’s Cassini mission to Saturn acquired more than 600 moderate- to high-resolution images (<500 m/pixel) of the small, geologically active moon Enceladus. The moon’s internal global ocean and intriguing geology mark it as a candidate for future exploration and motivates the development of a PSDI. Recently, two PSDI foundational data sets were created: geodetic control and orthoimages. To provide the third foundational data set, we generate a new shape model for Enceladus from Cassini images and a dense photogrammetric control network (nearly 1 million tie points) using the U.S. Geological Survey’s Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers (ISIS) and the Ames Stereo Pipeline (ASP). The new shape model is near-global in extent and gridded to 2.2 km/pixel, ~50 times better resolution than previous global models. Our calculated triaxial shape, rotation rate, and pole orientation for Enceladus is consistent with current International Astronomical Union (IAU) values to within the error; however, we determined a o new prime meridian offset (Wo) of 7.063 .

Thesis Summary Aston University The Role of Social Agents in the Translation into English of the Novels of Naguib Mahfouz Linda Ahed Alkhawaja Doctor of Philosophy (by Research) April, 2014 This research investigates the field of translation in an Egyptain context around the work of the Egyptian writer and Nobel Laureate Naguib Mahfouz by adopting Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological framework. Bourdieu’s framework is used to examine the relationship between the field of cultural production and its social agents. The thesis includes investigation in two areas: first, the role of social agents in structuring and restructuring the field of translation, taking Mahfouz’s works as a case study; their role in the production and reception of translations and their practices in the field; and second, the way the field, with its political and socio-cultural factors, has influenced translators’ behaviour and structured their practices.
