No other edition offers extensive textual apparatus such as explanatory notes, plot summaries, particularly vital as stories are complex and interwoven. The Sultan Schahriar`s misguided resolution to shelter himself from the possible infidelities on his wives leads to an outbreak of barbarity in his kingdoms and a reign of terror in his court, stopped only by the resourceful Scheherazade. The tales with which Scheherazade nightly postpones the muderous intent of the sultan have entered our language and our lives like no other collection of narratives before or since. Sinbad, Aladdin, Ali Baba: all make their spectacular entrance on to the stage of English literary history in the "Arabian Nights Entertainments" (1704-17). The stories...

This book shows the progression of Interior Design of the Arabian countries. In contrast to many countries modeled according to the Western traditions, the Arabian culture is closely tied to religious and social values. The current discussion regarding contemporary architecture broaches the subject of the importance of tradition and deals with the Arabian identity. The architects have various viewpoints on the subject: Besides those who represent an international and global architectural language, there are also numerous planners that incorporate historical elements such as arches, domes and columns into their designs and interpret them in a contemporary fashion. Arabian Design presents the projects of renowned offices and young...

This delightful selection of tales from The Thousand and One Nights are masterpieces of the art of storytelling. The beautiful Scheherazade saved her life by entertaining the brutal King Shahryar with these tales of magical transformations, genies and wishes, terror and passion. Here are the famous adventures of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" and "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp", as well as less familiar stories, such as "Prince Behram and the Princess Al-Datma", a charming early version of The Taming of the Shrew. The tales have their origins in the cultures of India, Persia and Arabia, and this edition, based on Richard F. Burton`s unexpurgated translation, gives the reader all the sensuality and lushness of the original Arabic. Exotic,...

These aren`t just any old frogs. Araminta must deal with crazy Old Morris, a dangerous shark, and a demanding - if somewhat unexpected - audience if she`s going to find the frogs and perhaps even steal the show, too.

"Einer der in aller Welt meistgelesenen, meistubersetzten, meistverfilmten und meistgeschatzten deutschen Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts". (Hermann Kesten) Erich Maria Remarque - wer denkt da nicht unwillkurlich an "Im Westen nichts Neues" Im Gesamtwerk des Autors gibt es aber neben den vertrauten noch zahlreiche unbekannte oder vergessene Seiten neu- und wiederzuentdecken. "Remarque hat - wie Hemingway - die seltene Fahigkeit, Texte zu schreiben, die zugleich popular und echte Kunstwerke sind, und die es verstehen, eine Generation zu verkorpern." (Times Magazine) "Seine Sache war es, unterhaltsame und spannende Romane zu schreiben. Und er bewies der Welt, da er alles konnte, was er wollte." (Marcel Reich-Ranicki)

Aus Liebe zu zwei Frauen und dem Hass auf einen Gestapo-Agenten entwickelt sich das Drama eines Exilschicksals, in dessen Realitat sich der Aufstand gegen den Terror einer ganzen Epoche spiegelt.
