Résumé

Résumé : "The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night," translated by Richard F. Burton, is a celebrated collection of Middle Eastern folktales and stories, more commonly known as "One Thousand and One Nights" or "Arabian Nights." Volume 06 of this collection continues to present a diverse array of captivating tales, each filled with its own distinct characters, settings, and narratives. These stories in Volume 06 encompass a wide range of themes, including adventure, romance, morality, and fantasy. They transport readers to the enchanting and exotic world of the Middle East, where they will encounter an array of fascinating characters such as clever viziers, heroic adventurers, beautiful princesses, and cunning villains. The tales are often set in settings as varied as bustling marketplaces, opulent palaces, and the enchanting deserts of Arabia. Richard F. Burton's translation skillfully preserves the rich storytelling and imaginative qualities of the original Arabic tales, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the magic, wonder, and moral lessons that have made "One Thousand and One Nights" a beloved masterpiece of world literature.
Biographie : Burton was born in Torquay, Devon, at 21:30 on 19 March 1821; in his autobiography, he incorrectly claimed to have been born in the family home at Barham House in Elstree in Hertfordshire. He was baptised on 2 September 1821 at Elstree Church in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. His father, Lt.-Colonel Joseph Netterville Burton, of the 36th Regiment, was an Irish-born British army officer of Anglo-Irish extraction who through his mother's family—the Campbells of Tuam—was a first cousin of Lt.-Colonel Henry Peard Driscoll and Mrs Richard Graves. Richard's mother, Martha Baker, was the daughter and co-heiress of a wealthy English squire, Richard Baker (1762-1824), of Barham House, Hertfordshire, for whom he was named. Burton had two siblings, Maria Katherine Elizabeth Burton (who married Lt.-General Sir Henry William Stisted) and Edward Joseph Netterville Burton, born in 1823 and 1824, respectively.
