Marvellous Thieves: Secret Authors of the Arabian Nights by Paulo Lemos Horta
Requirements: PDF Reader, 17.16 MB
Overview: Marvellous Thieves recovers the cross-cultural encounters―the collaborations, borrowings, and acts of literary larceny―that produced the Arabian Nights in European languages. Ranging from the coffeehouses of Aleppo to the salons of Paris, from colonial Calcutta to Bohemian London, Paulo Lemos Horta introduces readers to the poets and scholars, pilgrims and charlatans who made crucial but largely unacknowledged contributions to this most famous of story collections. Each version betrays the distinctive cultural milieu in which it was produced and the workshop atmosphere of its compilation. Time and again, Horta shows, stories were retold and elaborate commentaries added to remake the Arabian Nights in accordance with the personalities and ambitions of the storytellers and writers.
