Yapı Kredi Yayınları Binbir Gece Masalları Volume 4/2

For hundreds of years, the thousand and one nights, told in an area stretching from china to north africa and covering china, chinese india, iran, iraq, turkey, syria and egypt, was first introduced to the world by antoine galland, who edited and translated it into french (1704-17, 12 volumes). these tales, which have been translated into all major languages to date, have deeply influenced many artists in all fields, from literature to music, cinema to ballet, starting long before galland. they have been repeatedly adapted, reinterpreted, and imitated. the thousand and one nights not only ignited people's imagination; with the "frame story" technique, which it is the oldest known example of, it has maintained its place at the forefront of the most influential books in world literature, both in the past and in the present. alim şerif onaran (1921-2000) first brought the thousand and one nights into our language in its full text. orhan pamuk wrote an introduction for this revised new edition. all that remains for you is to say "open, open!"
