DESCRIPTION
Discreetly, Shahrazad would fall silent at the ad vent of dawn. Anxiously the King would wait for the next night, for the next tale. A thousand and one nights and tales beaded together, in this fashion, on a fine chord of opulent imagination. Tales,sthat kept death away.
Tales of oral cultivation among the Arab storytellers of the tenth century, probably of Indian origin, The Thou sand Nights and One Night captures the magic and aroma of Eastern culture through thoughts and words that breathe. Unlike its usual, purgated, spent-charm re productions, here in its most faithful and worthy transla tion ever is a ful, candid version of the stories that are sharp, witty, hilarious and sensual in their original selves.
