Very Good English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Turkish. 16 volumes set: (Apprx. 3900 p). B/w ills. First full Turkish Edition of 'Arabian nights'. Eski zamanlarda Hin ve Çin diyarlarinda hüküm süren Sehriyar ve Sahzaman adli iki kardes hükümdar, karilari tarafindan aldatilmak felaketine ugramislar. Bu olaylarin etkisiyle Sehriyar, kendi ülkesinde, her gün bir kizla evlenip ertesi gün onu idam ettirir olmus; bu yüzden vezirin güzel, bilgili ve akilli kizi Sehrazat, hükümdarla evlenip ya bu ugurda yasamini yitirmeye ya da kurtulup ülkenin tüm kadinlarini da bu beladan kurtarmaya karar vermis; babasini da buna ikna etmis. O gece gerdege girmeden önce, hükümdardan son dilek olarak kizkardesi Dünyazat'i görmek istemis; Dünyazat da ondan son bir dilekte bulunmus: 'Ne olursun ablacigim, o güzel masallarindan birini son defa bana anlat!'. Hükümdardan ruhsat aldiktan sonra, ilginç ve merak uyandiran bir masal anlatmaya baslamis Sehrazat; ve safak sökerken en heyecanli yerinde kesmis masalini: Gündüz masal anlatilmaz diye. Ne var ki Dünyazat kadar, Hükümdar Sehriyar da meraklanarak masalin sonunu getirmek üzere onun canini bagislamis. Birbirinden güzel masallari birbirine ekleyerek binbir gece masal anlatmis Sehrazat. Bu arada hükümdarla sevismeyi de sürdürerek üç çocuk sahibi olmus. Binbir Gece Masallari'nin temasi, 'Kadinin sadakatsizligi' üzerine kurulmustur denebilir. Ne var ki Sehrazat, kadinin: Ana, es, kizkardes ve kiz çocuk olarak varligini yücelten, belki de dünyada ilk (Aristofanes'in Lysistrata'si ilk sayilirsa, ikinci) ve en önemli feminist görüsü olusturabilecek bir karsi tez getirmektedir. Kitaplar bütünüyle sadakat ve sadakatsizligin genis bir sentezini yapmakta ve sonunda Sehrazat'in fikri üstün gelmektedir. Ancak bu genis sentez 'masal içinde masal' seklinde labirentlerle dolu bir sisteme oturtulmustur. Sonunda da bu labirentlerden rahatça kurtulma olanagini saglamistir. Tüm dünyada fikir ve sanat hayatini genis sekilde etkileyen Binbir Gece Masallari'nin gerçek degeri 19. yüzyilin sonu ve 20. yüzyilin bunlari 16 cilt olarak, oldugu gibi, Arapça'dan aktaran Dr. Joseph-Charles Mardrus'ün çabalarindan sonra ortaya çikti. Her bir cildi ayni yillarda yasayan Stephane Mallarme, Anatole France, Jose-Maria Heredia, Andre Gide, Maurice de Maeternick, Pierre Louys, Remy de Gourmond gibi edebiyatçilara adanan Dr. Mardrus'ün çevirisi, edebî çevrelerde, daha önce Galland'inkine gösterilen ilgiden de öte bir ilgi gördü. Binbir Gece Masallari son yüzyillarda fikir ve edebiyati etkiledigi gibi, opera, bale, tiyatro, sinema gibi diger sanatlarca da ele alinarak degerlendirildi. Masallarin kaynaginin Çin'den Kuzey Afrika'ya kadar uzanan bir haritada: Çin Hindi, Hindistan, Iran, Irak, Türkiye, Suriye ve Misir'i da içeren cografyalarda artik bilinmektedir. Bu kitabin tamamlanacak on alti cildini de ilkinden baslayarak zevkle ve keyifle okuyacagin,zi umuyoruz. 'From promotion text of Alim Serif Onaran'.
