This unique edition will unlock the ancient tales for a new generation of readers and performers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by Arabic writers from tales gathered in India, Persia and across the great Arab Empire, the\u003ci\u003e One Thousand and One Nights \u003c\/i\u003eare the never-ending stories told by Shahrazad night after night, under sentence of death, to the king Shahrayar who has vowed to marry a virgin every night and kill her in the morning. Shahrazad prolongs her life by keeping the King engrossed in a web of stories that never ends - a fascinating kaleidoscope of life, love and destiny. The tales that unfold are erotic, violent, supernatural and endlessly surprising.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe web of tales woven by Shahrazad were exoticised and bowdlerised in the West under the title of the \u003ci\u003eArabian Nights\u003c\/i\u003e. This adaptation unearths the true character of \u003ci\u003eOne Thousand and One Nights \u003c\/i\u003eas it is in the oldest Arabic manuscripts. In turns erotic, brutal, witty, poetic and complex, the tales tell of love and marriage, power and punishment, rich and poor, and the endless trials and uncertainties of fate. The great cities and thriving trade routes of the Islamic world provide the setting for these stories that employ supernatural mystery and intense realism to portray the deep and endless drama of human experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fergiani Bookshop \/ مكتبة الفرجاني","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51947349082443,"sku":"9781408159613","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1788\/7307\/files\/IMG_20250602_0010_NEW.jpg?v=1748865559","url":"https:\/\/fergianibooks.com\/products\/one-thousand-and-one-nights","provider":"Fergiani Bookshop \/ مكتبة الفرجاني","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
