Summary:
From one of the world's most acclaimed contemporary Arab writers: a sparkling new translation of 20 mesmerizing tales from the beloved masterpiece. The original tales of the ONE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS were framed as stories told by the young queen Shahrazad to her murderous husband each night in order to save her life. Lebanese writer Hanan al-Shaykh has selected 20 of the stories, translated them into modern English, and knitted them together into one cohesive narrative.
