«Aladin et la lampe merveilleuse» is the classic tale by Antoine Galland, published by Maxi-livres in paperback (158 pages, in French).
Set in the East, the tale recounts the adventures of Aladdin, a young man who finds a wonderful lamp and, with the help of a genie, has adventures with flying carpets. It comes from the repertoire of The Thousand and One Nights, in Antoine Galland's version.
It belongs to the 'Un livre, 1 euro' collection and was published in 2001; in some sources the title appears as 'Aladin ou la lampe merveilleuse'.
Intended for young readers and for those who enjoy classic tales with an Oriental setting.
Antoine Galland was a French orientalist and archaeologist, most famous as the first European translator of One Thousand and One Nights, which he called Les mille et une nuits. His version of the tales appeared in twelve volumes between 1704 and 1717 and exerted a significant influence on subsequent European literature and attitudes to the Islamic world. Jorge Luis Borges has suggested that Romanticism began when his translation was first read.
