Content introduction: "One Thousand and One Nights" is also known as "Arabian Nights". According to legend, a king was angry because his queen had an affair with someone. After executing the queen, he married a girl every night and killed the girl the next morning. Scheherazade, the beautiful and intelligent daughter of the prime minister, resolutely voluntarily married into the palace in order to save the innocent girl. She told stories to the king every night to attract him. She told a total of one thousand and one nights of stories, and finally influenced the king. This book is a literal translation by Zhi Puhao, a researcher of Arabic culture at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and a well-known Arabic translator, and includes fourteen classic stories such as "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves", "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp" and "The Adventures of Sinbad". The characters in the story include emperors, generals, princes and princesses, merchants, fishermen, tailors, monks, etc. Borges said that "One Thousand and One Nights" is an endless book, and people want to get lost in it, because they know that once they enter this book, they will forget their pitiful circumstances in life.
Reader comments
I didn't expect that I had finished reading it, but what about the endings of Scheherazade and Scheherazade?
It is indeed a world-famous book. The story is told thoroughly, rich in content, easy to understand, and the final touch point is a rare work.
"One Thousand and One Nights" is a famous collection of Arabic mythological stories. Many popular stories around the world come from it, including the most familiar ones like Alibaba and the Forty Thieves and Aladdin's Magic Lamp. If you think about it carefully, it is difficult to connect these stories with the image of Arabia we see today. That magnificent and imaginative country is indeed very different from the closed and conservative country that most people think of today. To a certain extent, this also reflects that Arabic mythology has become a global literary work and has been greatly integrated with China.
It is indeed a classic. The story is so twists and turns that you can't stop reading. The author is very skillful in using language description, action description, psychological description, demeanor description, and appearance description. At the same time, the description of details and environment are also very profound. The story is very compact, one after another, and it is not very confusing to read. At the same time, it is very logical, and I can't help but think about the true meaning of life. There are many short stories in it, some of which we were familiar with when we were children. Each philosophical story teaches us some principles of life.
According to legend, there was a Sasanian kingdom between India and China in ancient times. King Shanruyar hated his queen and killed her because she had personal affairs with others. From then on, he married a girl every day and killed her the next morning. In order to save the innocent woman, Scheherazade, the daughter of the prime minister, voluntarily married the king. She told stories every night to arouse the king's interest and avoid being killed. Her story was told for One Thousand and One Nights, and finally the king was moved. These stories and characters are intertwined to form a complex picture of social life in the medieval Arab Empire. They are precious materials for studying Arab and Eastern history, culture, religion, language, art, and folk customs.
I have never read this book before. I always thought that One Thousand and One Nights was a short story book similar to a collection of children's bedtime stories. Now that I have read it, I am really amazed. There is so much in it. Children may not be able to understand the meaning of many stories in it. The stories inside are rich in philosophy, mostly about how people behave, punish evil and promote good. As expected, even Gorky praised it lavishly, calling it "the most magnificent monument" in the history of world folk literature.
I've touched the physical book and it's very thick. I haven't finished uploading it yet. I just want to ask how many women have cheated on me.
Very exciting and smart
It's different from what I saw when I was a kid. The stories I saw when I was a kid were like Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.
Very nice classic book
It's a good abbreviation to read.
Very well written! The story is fascinating and the content is rich. It's a great book!
