Commissioned by Tōhō Studios from three of Japan's most prominent postwar literary writers (Shin'ichirō Nakamura, Takehiko Fukunaga, and Yoshie Hotta), the novella formed the basis for the now-classic monster film \u003ci\u003eMothra, \u003c\/i\u003ewith a protagonist second only to Godzilla in number of film appearances by a kaiju.

Expressing a powerful social stance about Japan's need to chart its own foreign policy during the Cold War, the novella's political message was ultimately toned down in the Tōhō Studios film.

It's only ever been the two of them, and they are so enmeshed that it can be hard to tell them apart: they share the same manners, habits, and opinions to an almost comic degree. (\"The shrubberies are dotted with crocuses, they don't care for crocuses.\") One day the mother feels a lump in her throat, and, as our young heroine reflects, \"nothing's the way it is.\" While the mother is in and out of the hospital, the daughter--barely sixteen and just starting high school--makes new friends (Tove Dunk, Hafni, Bob, and Desert Boots) and meets a few boys, but she remains essentially alone. In its splintering, multi-layered, perpetual present tense, where the borders of time seemingly expand, flatten, and dissolve, Helle finds an unexpectedly moving voice for her heroines' pain, one which rises almost wordlessly to the surface of the prose, to then reach across and profoundly touch the reader.

Now, in this lavishly designed and illustrated edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Annotated Arabian Nights\u003c\/em\u003e, the acclaimed literary historian Paulo Lemos Horta and the brilliant poet and translator Yasmine Seale present a splendid new selection of tales from the Nights, featuring treasured original stories as well as later additions including \"Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp\" and \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves,\" and definitively bringing the Nights out of Victorian antiquarianism and into the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, readers have been haunted by the homicidal King Shahriyar, thrilled by gripping tales of Sinbad's seafaring adventures, and held utterly, exquisitely captive by Shahrazad's stories of passionate romances and otherworldly escapades. Yet for too long, the English-speaking world has relied on dated translations by Richard Burton, Edward Lane, and other nineteenth-century adventurers. Seale's distinctly contemporary and lyrical translations break decisively with this masculine dynasty, finally stripping away the deliberate exoticism of Orientalist renderings while reclaiming the vitality and delight of the stories, as she works with equal skill in both Arabic and French.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded within are famous tales, from \"The Story of Sinbad the Sailor\" to \"The Story of the Fisherman and the Jinni,\" as well as lesser-known stories such as \"The Story of Dalila the Crafty,\" in which the cunning heroine takes readers into the everyday life of merchants and shopkeepers in a crowded metropolis, and \"The Story of the Merchant and the Jinni,\" an example of a ransom frame tale in which stories are exchanged to save a life. Grounded in the latest scholarship, The Annotated Arabian Nights also incorporates the Hanna Diyab stories, for centuries seen as French forgeries but now acknowledged, largely as a result of Horta's pathbreaking research, as being firmly rooted in the Arabic narrative tradition. Horta not only takes us into the astonishing twists and turns of the stories' evolution. He also offers comprehensive notes on just about everything readers need to know to appreciate the tales in context, and guides us through the origins of ghouls, jinn, and other supernatural elements that have always drawn in and delighted readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeautifully illustrated throughout with art from Europe and the Arab and Persian world, the latter often ignored in English-language editions, \u003cem\u003eThe Annotated Arabian Nights\u003c\/em\u003e expands the visual dimensions of the stories, revealing how the Nights have always been--and still are--in dialogue with fine artists.
