The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night (1885), subtitled A Plain and Literal Translation of the Arabian Nights Entertainments, is a celebrated English language translation of One Thousand and One Nights (the “Arabian Nights”) – a collection of Middle Eastern and South Asian stories and folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age (8th−13th centuries) – by the British explorer and Arabist Richard Francis Burton (1821–1890).Burton's translation was unabridged and unexpurgated English translation done in the 1880s. Owing to the sexual imagery in the source texts (which Burton made a special study of, adding extensive footnotes and appendices on "Oriental" sexual mores) and to the strict Victorian laws on obscene material, the translation was printed as private edition for subscribers only, rather than being published in the usual manner. Burton's original ten volumes were followed by a further six entitled The Supplemental Nights to the Thousand Nights and a Night (1886–88). ~~The List of Works~~The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, Volume IThe Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, Volume IIThe Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, Volume IIIThe Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, Volume IVThe Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, Volume VThe Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, Volume VIThe Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, Volume VIIThe Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, Volume VIIIThe Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, Volume IXThe Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, Volume XThe Supplemental Nights to the Thousand Nights and a Night, V
