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.
