From the Mother Tongue Spells & Invocation collection.
Nominated by Artist-led Nonprofit Vista House |
" A cornerstone of world literature and a monument to the power of storytelling." |
Beautifully illustrated throughout with art from Europe and the Arab and Persian world, The Annotated Arabian Nights expands the visual dimensions of the stories, revealing how the Nights have always been―and still are―in dialogue with fine artists. With a poignant autobiographical foreword from best-selling novelist Omar El Akkad and an illuminating afterword on the Middle Eastern roots of Hanna Diyab’s tales from noted scholar Robert Irwin, Horta and Seale have created a stunning edition of the Arabian Nights that will enchant and inform.
