DOWNLOAD EBOOKA jealous husband gives his wife a talking parrot as a gift—but if you remember Gilbert Gottfried as Iago in Disney's animated Aladdin, you'll have an idea what to expect! Now the wife must somehow bamboozle the bird and outwit her husband. A story within "The Story of the Greek King and the Physician Douban", this is the seventh of 34 tales in the classic "Arabian Nights" collection translated by Andrew Lang. A treasure-trove of timeless stories, the One Thousand and One Nights or Arabian Nights have been loved, imitated, and added to over many centuries. Similar to the fairy tales collected by the Brothers Grimm, the Arabian Nights are drawn from the folklore of India, Iran and the Middle East, and were collected in Arabic versions throughout the medieval period; others were added as recently as the eighteenth century. These stories of the exotic East have been popularised for new generations by film adaptations such as Disney’s Aladdin, starring Robin Williams and Gilbert Gottfried in 1992, and Will Smith in 2019, and Dreamworks’ Sinbad, starring Brad Pitt and Michelle Pfeiffer. They continue to inspire writers as varied as Marcel Proust and Neil Gaiman, while numerous Bollywood and manga versions attest to their popularity around the world. These stories of magic, adventure and romance have shaped readers’ imaginations for generations, and are sure to be retold for years to come. This selection was translated by Andrew Lang from the French versions by Antoine Galland, who was the first to include the stories of Aladdin and Ali Baba. Born in Scotland in 1844, Lang was a scholar of ancient Greek, a journalist, historian, novelist and poet, and the author of 25 popular collections of fairy tales; his edition of the Arabian Nights’ Entertainment was published in 1898. He became a Fellow of the British Academy in 1906, and died in 1912.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis anthology unites the timeless allure of 'Arabian Nights or One Thousand and One Nights', translated and edited by Andrew Lang, with 'New Arabian Nights' by Robert Louis Stevenson, presenting an opulent tapestry of fantasy, adventure, and moral intricacies. The collection offers a panoramic view of not only the traditional tales that have fueled the imaginations of readers for centuries but also Stevenson's unique Victorian twist on the genre. These narratives span a gamut of literary styles from the mystical and whimsical, to gripping, suspense-filled dramas, showcasing the expansive range and adaptability of these stories across different cultural and temporal landscapes. The contributing authors, Lang and Stevenson, bring their distinct backgrounds to the compilation, reflecting the broader historical, cultural, and literary movements of their times. Lang's work as a folklorist and poet is evident in his sensitive approach to translation and adaptation, striving to maintain the spirit of the original tales. Stevenson, a luminary of the Scottish literary renaissance, imbues the collection with a darker, more complex psychological depth, expanding the narrative scope of the traditional tales. Together, these authors enhance and challenge our understanding of the 'Arabian Nights' stories, inviting readers to consider the thematic and stylistic shifts over time. For those intrigued by the power of storytelling and its ability to cross cultural boundaries, this anthology is an invaluable treasure. Readers are afforded the unique opportunity to traverse the rich landscapes of Middle Eastern folklore through the Victorian lens, gaining diverse perspectives on universal themes of morality, adventure, and human folly. This collection not only fosters a deeper appreciation for the art of storytelling across different periods but also encourages a dialogic engagement with the texts, making it an essential read for both aficionados of classic literature and newcomers eager to explore the storied tapestry of 'Arabian Nights'.
