Actually it is quite a weak book. Not worth reading.

I imagined that much by reading the title.

Je vais lire Tous les matins du monde.  Chacun d'eux.

Few days ago I saw a translation into Spanish... maybe I should purchase it.

I liked the movie, especially the superb soundtrack recorded by Savall.

Purchased yesterday on Amazon.es:

One Ten Hundred and One Nights

Fixed. 

[Wakefield]

Fixed. 

What was I thinking of? It will remain a mystery, I guess. 

P.S.: That's not totally true, I was thinking if was better to write "One Thousand Nights and One Night", or "One Thousand and One Nights", and then... 

[Florestan]

"One Thousand Nights and One Night More",

Fixed again. 

In Romanian it reads O mie și una de nopți, word for word One thousand and one of nights.

[kishnevi]

The literal meaning of the Arabic title is The Book of a Thousand Nights and a Night.

My copy is another used book store find, the 1962 reprint
1934 Limited Editions Club edition: The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night: The Complete Burton Translation with the Complete Burton Notes, the Terminal Index, and 1001 Decorations by Valenti Angelo, 3 Volumes in slipcase (reprinted by The Heritage Press, 1962)

I read (and was read to) some translation of The Book of a Thousand Nights and a Night as a child at my grandparents'. I see the only translation of the whole book directly from the original into Finnish was done in 2010. Will have to investigate

As far as I know, in Spanish there are, at least, three translations from the Arabic, and several translations from French editions, principally the classical translations by Galland and Mardrus.

I started with Mardrus translated into Spanish by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, some time a famous novelist and screenwriter.

There are 11 other translations into Finnish from various other translations - e.g. a Norwegian on - or incomplete translations of the original.
