Aladdin : A New Translation, Paperback / softback Book

Aladdin : A New Translation Paperback / softback

Edited by Paulo Lemos (New York University) Horta

Paperback / softback

Description

Long defined by film adaptations that have portrayed Aladdin as a simplistic rags-to-riches story for children, this work of dazzling imagination—and occasionally dark themes—now comes to vibrant new life. “In the capital of one of China’s vast and wealthy kingdoms”, begins Shahrazad, there lived Aladdin, a rebellious fifteen-year-old who falls prey to a double-crossing sorcerer and is ultimately saved by a princess.One of the best-loved folktales of all time, Aladdin has been capturing the imagination of readers, illustrators and filmmakers since an eighteenth-century French publication first added the tale to The Arabian Nights.

Here is an elegant, eminently readable rendition of Aladdin in what is destined to be a classic for decades to come.
