Cover of Al-Shaykh Hanan Al-Shaykh: One Thousand and One Nights (ePUB)
The Arab world’s greatest folk stories re-imagined by the acclaimed Lebanese novelist Hanan al-Shaykh’Magical … bursting with jinnis and mischief’ Donna Tartt’One of the finest writers of her generation’ Financial Times One Thousand and One Nights are the never-ending stories told by Shahrazad under sentence of death to King Shahrayar. Maddened by the discovery of his wife’s orgies, King Shahrayar vows to marry a virgin every night and kill her in the morning. To survive, his newest wife Shahrazad spins a web of tales each night, leaving the King in suspense when morning comes, prolonging her life for another day.Gathered from India, Persia and across the great Arab empire, these mesmerising stories tell of the real and the supernatural, love and marriage, power and punishment, wealth and poverty, and the endless trials and uncertainties of fate. Retold by Hanan al-Shaykh, One Thousand and One Nights are revealed in an intoxicating new voice.
