HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics. ‘“For,” said he, “there never was nor
is there one chaste woman upon the face of earth.”’ A
collection of Persian, Arabian and Indian tales dating from the 9th
century, Sir Richard Burton’s most well-known translation of
Arabian Nights brings together ancient folklore and stories passed
down from generation to generation. Featuring tales about love,
history, tragedy and comedy as well as fables and fairy tales, this
edition remains a well-loved collection of exotic and evocative
stories. Fantastical and curious customs are bought to life by
Burton’s translation in stories such as ‘The Lovers of
Bassorah’, ‘The Concubine of Al-Maamun’ and ‘The
Hunchback’s Tale’.
