- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This particular volume covered (by and large) only two stories. One was an epic battle between the Islamic forces and the Christian forces. It is told largely in a military history fashion, forgoing character development in favor of discussion of military tactics, strategies, and events. It was not the most interesting of stories. The second prominent story in this volume was a romance tale - personally, I think this particular tale could easily be re-worked by Hollywood for modern audiences (a man is betrothed since childhood. His betrothed loves him with all her heart, but he's somewhat oblivious and falls for another woman. The other woman is a bit of a tease and flirt. The betrothed offers the man advice on how to court his love, even though it pains her incredibly - all she wants is his happiness. It isn't until it's too late that the man realizes that he was chasing after the wrong woman.)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This review is for the 2005 edition of The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night by Assouline Publishing, which features a translation by Powys Mathers (although Amazon's data lists the translation as Richard Burton, that is incorrect). This edition also features stunning illustrations by Leon Carre and beautiful ornamental design by Racim Mohammed. In fact the illustrations are the reason I purchased this book and thought that a review that focused on this might be useful to other readers. The illustrations were originally from an older multi-volume edition published in the 1920s. This "coffee-table book" sized edition only contains about 20 full page colour plates, a sample of the original number, but as thers illustrations are part of the stories selected, and those are just a small sample of the tales, it is understandable. Leon Carre's illustrations are lush, detailed, and exotic. The colours, patterns of the carpets, details of the garden are a feast for the eyes and perfectly portrays the sense of wonder and exoticism the reader envisions while reading the stories. The ornamental designs by Racim Mohammend adorn the pages throughout the book, with particularly elaborate work on the title and first pages. They match well with Carre's illustrations and add to the richness of this book. The book also comes in a slipcase, which features another full-sized illustration by Carre.If you are looking for a beautiful illustrated edition of 1001 nights, I highly recommend this book. It is both affordable and gorgeous!
