    A luminous translation of Arabic tales of enchantment and wonderTranslated into English for the very first time, A Hundred and One Nights is a marvelous example of the rich tradition of popular Arabic storytelling. Like the celebrated Thousand and One Nights, this collection opens with the frame story of Scheherazade, the vizier’s gifted daughter who recounts imaginative tales night after night in an effort to distract the murderous king from taking her life. A Hundred and One Nights features an almost entirely different set of stories, however, each one more thrilling, amusing, and disturbing than the last. Here, we encounter tales of epic warriors, buried treasure, disappearing brides, cannibal demon-women, fatal shipwrecks, and clever ruses, where human strength and ingenuity play out against a backdrop of inexorable, inscrutable fate. Distinctly rooted in Arabic literary culture and the Islamic tradition, these tales draw on motifs and story elements that circulated across cultures, including Indian and Chinese antecedents, and features a frame story possibly older than its more famous sibling. This vibrant translation of A Hundred and One Nights promises to transport readers, new and veteran alike, into its fantastical realms of magic and wonder Frontmatter -- Letter from the General Editor -- About this Paperback -- Contents -- Foreword -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- A Note on the Text -- Notes to the Introduction -- The Story of a Hundred and One Nights -- The Story of the Young Merchant -- The Story of Najm al-Ḍiyāʾ ibn Mudīr al-Mulk -- The Story of Camphor Island -- The Story of Ẓāfir ibn Lāḥiq -- The Story of the Vizier and his Son -- The Story of King Sulaymān ibn ʿAbd al-Malik -- The Story of Maslamah ibn ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Marwān (God Show Them Mercy) -- The Story of Gharībat al-Ḥusn and the Young Egyptian -- The Story of the Young Egyptian and his Wife -- The Story of the King and his Three Sons -- The Story of the Young Man and the Necklaces -- The Story of the Four Companions -- The Story of the Prince and the Seven Viziers -- The Story of the King and the Serpent -- The Tale of the Ebony Horse -- The Story of the King and the Gazelle -- The Story of the Vizier Ibn Abī l-Qamar and ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Marwān -- Notes -- Appendix -- Glossary -- Bibliography -- Further Reading -- Indices -- About the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute -- About the Translator -- The Library of Arabic Literature

    Although many of its stories originated centuries ago in the Middle East, the 1001 Nights is regarded as a classic of world literature by virtue of the seminal French and English translations produced in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Supporting the suspicion that the story collection is more Parisian than Persian, some of its most famous tales, including the stories of Aladdin and Ali Baba, appear nowhere in the original sources. Yet as befits a world where magic lamps may conceal a jinni and fabulous treasures lie just beyond secret doors, the truth of the Nights is richer than standard criticism suggests. Marvellous Thieves recovers the cross-cultural encounters...the collaborations, borrowings, and acts of literary larceny...that produced the 1001 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 of the Nights 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 Nights in accordance with the personalities and ambitions of the storytellers and writers. Untangling the intricate web of invention and plagiarism that ensnares the Nights, Horta rehabilitates the voices hidden in its long history...voices that mirror the endless potential of Shahrazad's stories to proliferate....
