وصف الكتاب:
The narrative techniques in The Thousand and One Nights and their impact on the world imagination begin with a review of the history of the Thousand and One Nights, and a review of their impact on world literature and literary figures, from the first translation of all the book into Western languages during the early nineteenth century until today. This book also discusses the narrative techniques of The Thousand and One Nights, and the similarities of the techniques with the literary techniques that were later invented in The Tale of the Tale. The nature, techniques, and endoscopy of metasternals are also explained. There are also discussions of the most prominent Western novelists and critics who have been preoccupied with the various applications of storytelling techniques. This book provides a quick review of the entire literary legacy of the Egyptian novelist and Nobel Prize winner Naguib Mahfouz, and continues with the discussion of Mahfouz's short and abridged novel, Nights of a Thousand Nights (translated into English Arabian Nights and Days). This book also discusses the literary legacy of American fiction and critic John Barth, and focuses on Barth's collection of short stories, Ten Nights and Nights: Eleven Stories. This book concludes with a call to extend literary theory to include not only Western works but also world classics, such as The Thousand and One Nights, for their international appeal and influence on world literature, and for their remarkable narrative techniques that literary theory has praised.
