The Arabian Nights Entertainments

The Arabian Nights is a collection of Perso-Arabic folk tales and other stories. The collection, or at least certain stories drawn from it (or purporting to be drawn from it), became widely known in the West from the 18th century, after it was translated from the Arabic — first into French and then into English and other European languages. The first English language edition, based on Galland's French rather than the original Arabic, rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment - and this, or simply The Arabian Nights, has been the title by which it has been best known to English-speaking people ever since.

Thank You to all Readers and LibriVox for this wonderful collec

(4 Sterne)

Thanks

(5 Sterne)

This audiobook is great! I found all the readers very good. Only the quality of some of the later files made listening a bit hard. Thanks!

great collection

(2 Sterne)

I wish the reader would slow down a bit,that could be done with some minor digital editing if she can't. It's kind of hard to listen to in a relaxed fashion due to the speed and the German? accent, one has to really concentrate on getting the words at the expence of enjoying the story.

Hard to understand

(1 Sterne)

The first reader has a very thick accent- German I think? and I found it very hard to understand or listen to without paying very close attention. I want listening to this to be a relaxing enjoyable activity, not so much work.

Classic Arabian tales worth listening to

(5 Sterne)

An interesting listen, and one I've wanted to hear most of my life. It did take a considerable chunk of time but it was worth it. I listen when I'm creating art or knitting and for a large chunk of this book I was on bedrest during my last pregnancy with my daughter. Some of the stories are quite unpleasant, and the treatment of women is quite deplorable, but it was from a long time ago (I don't believe in censoring and cancelling old fiction, it may be wrong but it's interesting to see positive changes today compared to previous times) and also interesting to see how some stories evolved over the years, for example how in Aladdin it was the ring as well as the lamp that he used. I liked some of the stories I'd never heard before, and find it interesting that magic seems to be both reviled and also celebrated. The talking birds, enchanted horses and djinn have given me a wealth of ideas for stories and d&d campaigns I may run one day. I'd recommend it.

Mostly good
