For century upon century, the Thousand and One Nights has been the supreme collection of Arabic storytelling — a frame tale in which the quick-witted Scheherazade saves her life each night by leaving a story unfinished until dawn. This first volume opens with the tales of the Merchant and the Jinni, the Fisherman and the Genie, and the first voyages of Sinbad the Sailor, alongside dozens of other enchanting narratives from Persia, Arabia, Egypt, and India.
Richly imagined and endlessly entertaining, these are stories that shaped world literature. This free EPUB is cleanly formatted and ready to read on any device.
