The Arabian Nights: & Other Classics of Eastern Philosophy (Leather-bound Classics)

An absolutely fabulous choice for either yourself or if you want to get as a gift for someone. Such beautiful pictures in this hardback edition of the book and its all of its timeless stories as well. All well written in addition to that having said everything all in beautiful layout. I for one in my own way have always loved these stories most particularly of all the famed Ali Baba and The Forty Thieves. Now having said and word of warning this is not necessarily a children's book. There is in its own time much content of a very considerably adult and gory nature here. It can also dwell on the grounds of erotic fantasy and abuse of that kind as well. For any of who whom have researched these famous stories of the 1001 Arabian Nights and all of the stories' various editions you will find that fact out for yourselves that these stories are not entirely for kids. But apart from all that a very great read with as I have said fabulous artwork and what have you. Some of the most famous fables ever all in very beautifully classic style presentation. But its as I say if you want to read some of the stories to your children you would do well to buy a kids edit of these stories which you will find there are plenty of. That is because this is entirely the adults versions of them and in my opinion most honestly the best.

This will forever be my favourite childhood story. Beautiful edition!

A classic. Excellent reading.

Got this on my kindle fire 🔥. So far, so 👍. Enjoying this ebook, which does include colour illustrations.

I have yet to be disappointed with a barns and noble book. As I have several. This one however might be my favourite as each new story has a beautifully illustrated arch on the first page and there are many equally gorgeous full page colour pictures and black and white line drawings scattered throughout. One thing I will say is that this translation is an old one as thy/thee/thou/shalt e.t.c. are used.

Sir Richard Burton translated this wonderful text. You need to learn High Arabian drawing to get access to the original. Beautiful Calligraphy.

Absolutely beautiful! The book is as described. The book is gorgeous. Worth the price!

A beautiful book! Includes all the 21 tales including "Ali Baba". Some coloured and black and white illustrations. Is done in such way that if one looks at the closed book side face upwards, it looks at though the pages are made of gold, which of course they are not. When the book starts, the page numbers are high at the top of the page, but as one gets further through the book, the page numbers get lower, until finally, when you reach the end of the book, the page numbers are at the bottom of the page! I am very pleased to add this to my bookshelf!

Edizione da collezione, arrivata incellophanata. Ottime condizioni.

Barnes & Noble, really nailed it. This book is seriously worth buying. The intricate embossed designs on the hardcover and inside amongst the pages, are simply mind-blowing. It definitely brings book-reading and book-appreciation to a whole new level. Especially, if the book is on those classics and legends.

Bardzo ładnie wydana książka, ładny papier, czcionka przyjemna w czytaniu, średniej wielkości. Nie ma ilustracji, język jest archaiczny. Książka to oryginalny tekst (pełnej długości zawartych w niej opowiadań), wydany w postaci "streszczonej" po polsku jako "Księga tysiąca jednej nocy - Wybór" W. Kubiaka. Jeżeli ktoś woli papierowe "pełne" wydanie niż tekst elektroniczny (public domain) zdecydowanie polecam.

Fantastic book, nice vintage design.

Nice work
