After this the lady of the house invites the three mendicants to relate their stories. This they do, this is the story of the first of the three mendicants. Theÿ mendicant said his father was a King, and he had a brother who was also a King, in a neighbouring state. It so happened that his mother gave birth to him on the same day on which the son of my uncle was born. Several years passed until they attained manhood. It was custom for the mendicant ÿto visit his uncle, and because of the length of the journey, he remained for several months. On one of these occasions the cousin paid him a great honour, slaughtering sheep and straining the wine for him. They sat down to drink; and when the wine had affected us, he said to me, O son of my uncle, I have need of your assistance in an affair of interest to me, and I ask you to hear me out in that which I desire to do. I replied, I was at his service:?and I was sworn to secrecy. He then rose and left the room for a little while before returning, followed by a perfumed woman decked with ornaments, and wearing a dress of extraordinary value. He looked at me and said, Take this woman, and go to the burial-ground:?and gave directions on how to get there. He also said to enter the burial-ground, and wait for hi, This I did said the mendicant. A short while later the cousin arrived with a basin of water and a small hammer. He went to a tombstone and chiselled away at it. Once the headstone had been removed it revealed a set of stairs leading into the earth. The cousin then asked him to seal the tomb after the woman and he had descended into the earth. Shocked at the request the cousin reminded the mendicant of his sworn oaths and tells him that he and his lover have been planning this for over a year. Reluctantly agreeing, the cousin and his lover descend into the underground chamber and are sealed in forever. What happened next you may well ask? Did he keep his word? Also, just how did he lose his eye and why didn?t he return to his father?s kingdom and resume his royal duties? Surely he would have been a king by now instead of a travelling mendicant?

After this the lady of the house invites the three mendicants to relate their stories. This they do, and this is the story of the second of the three mendicants. He said he was not born with only one eye; but his story should serve as a lesson to those who would be admonished. He said, he is a King, and as the son of a King he read the ?ur n according to the seven readings. He studied the science of the stars, and the writings of the poets and became proficient in all the sciences; so that he surpassed the people of his age. His hand-writing was extolled among all the scribes, and his fame spread among all countries, and among all Kings. On hearing of him, the King of India requested his father allow him to visit the King. His father, therefore, prepared six ships, and his party proceeded by sea for the space of a whole month, after which they came to land. Having disembarked the horses which they had with them in the ship, they purchased and loaded ten camels with presents, and commenced our journey. Soon there appeared a cloud of dust, which rose and spread until it filled the air before them. After it cleared they discovered they were in the midst of sixty or seventy stern looking horseman who were like the fierce lions of the desert. whom they perceived to be Arab highwaymen. When they saw that the train was but a small company with ten loads of presents for the King of India, they surrounded the train. We let them know that they were are ambassadors to the honoured King of India and requested they do them no injury. Unfortunately they replied that they were not in his territories, nor under his government. Immediately they slew a number of the young men, and the rest fled. After receiving severe wound, the prince also fled. Without further regard the Arabs took possession of the treasures and presents leaving the survivors to the ravages of the desert. What happened next you may well ask? He obviously survived the desert, but how? And how did he lose his eye? Why didn?t he return to his father?s kingdom and resume his royal duties?

He too was was a King, and the son of a King; and when his father died he succeeded to his throne, and governed my subjects with justice and beneficence. He took pleasure in sea-voyages; and as his capital was on the shore of an extensive sea, interspersed with fortified and garrisoned islands, which he planned to visit; he embarked with a fleet of ten ships, and took provisions sufficient for a month. They proceeded twenty days, after which there arose a contrary wind; which ceased at daybreak. They arrived at an island where they landed and rested for two days. They then continued their voyage; and when twenty days more had passed they found ourselves in strange waters, unknown to the captain and his crew. The lookout said he saw what he thought was an island looming in the distance, so they decided to head for that. It soon became apparent that the mountain was of black stone, called loadstone and the current was bearing them ÿviolently towards it and fear began to grip the crew. The next day, with no wind to sail away from the mountain,ÿ the ships ran aground on the rocks and broke up. In the chaos of the wrecking, he lost touch with his captain and crew and managed to hold on to a few planks and kick for the shore which he reached after many hours of swimming and paddling. What happened next you may well ask? He obviously survived the shipwreck, but how was he rescued and by whom? How did he lose his eye? Why didn?t he return to his kingdom to resume his royal duties instead of becoming a poor, travelling, one-eyed mendicant? What other adventures did he have and what jobs did he have to do to feed himself?

Book excerpt: The stories are taken from the collections published by Afanasief, Khudyakof, Erlenvein, and Chudinsky. "STORIES contained in the following pages are taken from the collections published by Afanasief, Khudyakof, Erlenvein, and Chudinsky. The South-Russian collections of Kulish and Rudchenko I have been able to use but little, there being no complete dictionary available of the dialect, or rather the language, in which they are written. Of these works that of Afanasief is by far the most important, extending to nearly 3,000 pages, and containing 332 distinct stories — of many of which several variants are given, sometimes as many as five. Khudyakof's collection contains 122 skazkas — as the Russian folk-tales are called — Erlenvein's 41, and Chudinsky's 31. Afanasief has also published a separate volume, containing 33 "legends," and he has inserted a great number of stories of various kinds in his " Poetic views of the Old Slavonians about Nature," a work to which I have had constant recourse."

Download or read book Italian Popular Tales written by Thomas Frederick Crane and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-12-05 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important reintroduction to this literature, this compilation of Thomas Crane's original translations of Italian folk stories includes new critical analysis. For 19th-century folklorist Thomas Crane, the value of collecting, translating, and reproducing folktales lay in their "internationalism"—their capacity to reveal how the customs of a particular group, no matter how unique, are linked to many others. In his classic collection, edited and updated by contemporary folklorist Jack Zipes, Crane traces the roots of Italian folktales to their origins, often in the Orient, then shows how they diffused in unpredictable and marvelous ways throughout Italy and over the centuries. A contemporary of the brothers Grimm, Crane offers a richer, more complex selection of oral and literary tales. Unlike the Grimms, he doesn't edit or modify the tales, which deal openly with surprisingly contemporary subjects: murder, adultery, incest, child abuse, and brutal vengeance.

Book excerpt: Notorious for the delight he took in tweaking the sexual taboos of the Victorian age-as well as the delight he took in the resulting shock of his bashful peers-British adventurer, linguist, and author CAPTAIN SIR RICHARD FRANCIS BURTON (1821-1890) is perhaps best remembered for his unexpurgated translation of the Eastern classic The One Thousand and One Nights, more famously known today as The Arabian Nights. Originating in Persian, Indian, and Arabic sources as far back as the ninth century AD, this collection of bawdy tales-which Burton was the first to bring to English readers in uncensored form-has exerted incalculable influence on modern literature. It represents one of the earliest examples of a framing story, as young Shahrazad, under threat of execution by the King, postpones her death by regaling him with these wildly entertaining stories over the course of 1,001 nights. The stories themselves feature early instances of sexual humor, satire and parody, murder mystery, horror, and even science fiction. Burton's annotated 16-volume collection, as infamous as it is important, was first published between 1885 and 1888, and remains an entertainingly naughty read. Volume I includes: [ Burton's introductory forward [ "Story of King Shahryar and His Brother" [ "Tale of the Trader and the Jinni" [ "Tale of the Wazir and the Sage Duban" [ "Tale of the Prince and the Ogress" [ "Tale of the Ensorcelled Prince" [ "The Porter and the Three Ladies of Baghdad" [ "Tale of the Three Apples" [ "The Reeve's Tale" [ "Tale of the Jewish Doctor" [ and others.
