Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. The Modern Library's 1932 "Adult Selection" of Burton's Arabian Nights, in scarce jacket. As the jacket promises, "The perpetual enchantment and multi-colored pageantry of the Arabian Nights are offered here in Sir Richard Burton's rendering for the delectation of adult minds. Shahrazad spins her tales without censorial interruption, and the spell that possessed King Shahryar and since then has possessed mankind is not broken, praise be to Allah, by discreet asterisks and decorous euphemisms." The jacket, now in protective mylar, has slight wear and creasing to the lower and upper edges, with slight loss of color to the corners. Slate grey covers, light blue top stain, faint toning to pages. xiv, 823 pp., followed by complete list of Modern Library titles. 7.25 x 5".
