Abstract

This work comprises a literary comparison of surviving alternative versions of selected narrative-cycles from the Nights. Pinault draws on the published Arabic editions - especially Bulaq, MacNaghten, and the fourteenth-century Galland text recently edited by Mahdi - as well as unpublished Arabic manuscripts from libraries in France and North Africa. The study demonstrates that significantly different versions have survived of some of the most famous tales from the Nights. Pinault notes how individual manuscript redactors employed - and sometimes modified - formulaic phrases and traditional narrative topoi in ways consonant with the themes emphasized in particular versions of a tale. He also examines the redactors' modification of earlier sources - Arabic chronicles and Islamic religious treatises, geographers' accounts and medieval legends - for specific narrative goals. Comparison of the narrative structure of diverse story-collection also sheds new light on the relationship of the embedded subordinate-narrative to the overarching frame-tale.

Abstract

Un roi, trompé par son épouse, décide de tuer chaque matin la compagne, toujours renouvelée, de sa nuit. Le royaume est en émoi. Une jeune fille, Shahrâzâd, tente le tout pour le tout. Elle raconte au roi de passionnantes histoires, et elle s'arrange pour que l'apparition de l'aube ne coïncide jamais avec la fin d'un récit. Ainsi, la curiosité du roi est tenue en haleine. Au bout de mille et une nuits, Shahrâzâd se voit reconnaître comme épouse légitime, mère et reine. Sur la naissance du recueil plane le plus épais mystère. Le premier témoignage connu date du Xe siècle de notre ère. Une chose est sûre : pour les Arabes, le livre est étranger. L'Inde a eu sa part dans l'affaire, et l'Iran semble avoir joué le rôle décisif. Le recueil est anonyme : les Nuits sont une œuvre de compilation. Leur histoire est donc celle d'une acclimatation assez réussie pour que ces contes puissent figurer dans la panoplie culturelle de l'honnête homme. Au début du XVIIIe siècle, Antoine Galland découvre le conte de Sindbâd de la Mer. Il apprend qu'il appartient à un ensemble plus vaste et finit par recevoir de Syrie un manuscrit qu'il va traduire à partir de 1704. C'est le texte fondateur de la carrière universelle des Nuits. Le succès est immédiat, considérable, constant. Trois cent et un ans après Galland, Jamel Eddine Bencheikh et André Miquel proposent une traduction nouvelle, intégrale, appelée à faire date. Elle comptera trois volumes.

Abstract

In applying the standards of modern literary criticism to medieval Arabic literature, Andras Hamori concentrates on those aspects of the literature that appear most alien to modern Western taste: the limitation of themes, the sedimentation with conventions, and the use of elusive patterns of composition.The first part of the book approaches Arabic literature from the historical point of view, concentrating on the transformations in poetic genres and poetic attitudes towards time and society in the literature between the sixth and the tenth centuries. The problems of poetic technique are then discussed, with special emphasis on poetic unity and the use of conventions. The third part of the book deals with methods of composition in prose through an examination of the orders and disorders in two tales from the Arabian Nights.Originally published in 1974.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

It is gradually being acknowledged that the Arabic story-collection Thousand and One Nights has had a major influence on European and world literature. This study analyses the influence of Thousand and One Nights , as an intertextual model, on 20th-century prose from all over the world. Works of approximately forty authors are examined: those who were crucial to the development of the main currents in 20th-century fiction, such as modernism, magical realism and post-modernism. The book contains six thematic sections divided into chapters discussing two or three authors/works, each from a narratological perspective and supplemented by references to the cultural and literary context. It is shown how Thousand and One Nights became deeply rooted in modern world literature especially in phases of renewal and experiment.

The book of the thousand nights and one night.

Abstract

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.
