From the stories of wives and their lovers to those of kings and their conquests, to the overarching story of Shahrazad and Shahryar, the tales of the Arabian Nights have offered countless audiences entertainment and enjoyment as well as serving as cautionary stories. An outstanding piece of world literature, the Arabian Nights provide a lively and interesting way of exploring aspects of sexuality, romance, gender, culture, wealth, and politics. Looking at a wide range of the tales, David Ghanim offers a rigorous exploration of their profound sexuality: looking at both the context in which they were written and organised, as well as their legacy. By including accounts of heterosexuality, homosexuality, cuckoldry, insatiable lust, promiscuity, rape, incest, bestiality, demonic sexuality, and erotica, Ghanim highlights the complexity and dynamism of medieval sexuality, the active role of women in sexual activities, and the prevailing positive outlook on sexual liaison and gender mixing.

Chef-d'œuvre littéralement invisible, Les Mille et une nuits d'Antoine Galland connaissent depuis bientôt trois siècles un succès, une célébrité et une influence qui n'ont d'égaux que l'aveuglement et le silence dont elles souffrent auprès de la critique et de l'histoire littéraires. Surprenante destinée, dont les causes les plus efficaces se révèlent être aussi les moins valables. Ce recueil de "Contes arabes", trop souvent considéré avec dédain comme une "simple traduction", frappe au contraire par son originalité. Reléguées d'ordinaire au rang de contes de nourrice, les histoires de Schéhérazade relèvent en réalité d'un art consommé et subtil, dont l'effet bénéfique sur le sultan qui les écoute (comme sur le lecteur qui les lit) est exemplaire. Modèle raffiné de la littérature du plaisir (ou de la littérature de plaisance), fidèle au goût et à l'esthétique de son temps, le chef-d'œuvre de Galland demande à devenir enfin visible ; de même que demande à être enfin levée l'hypothèque que la tradition persiste encore trop souvent à faire peser sur la fonction divertissante de toute littérature. C'est cette double réhabilitation qui est proposée ici, car l'une ne va pas sans l'autre. Le résultat souhaité est de voir Les Mille et une nuits et Galland mis enfin à la place qui leur revient : la première parmi les écrits et les écrivains de la fin du règne de Louis XIV.

Antoine Galland's French translation of the Thousand and One Nights appeared in 1704. One year later a pirate edition was printed in The Hague, followed by many others. Galland entertained a lively correspondence on the subject with the Dutch intellectual and statesman Gisbert Cuper (1644-1716). Dutch orientalists privately owned editions of the Nights and discreetly collected manuscripts of Arabic fairy tales. In 1719 the Nights were first retranslated into Dutch by the wealthy Amsterdam silk merchant and financier Gilbert de Flines (Amsterdam 1690-London 1739). The Thousand and One Nights and Orientalism in the Dutch Republic, 1700-1800: Antoine Galland, Ghisbert Cuper and Gilbert de Flines explores not only the trail of the French and Dutch editions from the eighteenth century Dutch Republic and the role of the printers and illustrators, but also the mixed sentiments of embarrassment and appreciation, and the overall literary impact of the Nights on a Protestant nation in a century when French cultural influence ruled supreme.
