Like the celebrated \u003cem\u003eThousand and One Nights\u003c\/em\u003e, this collection opens with the frame story of Scheherazade, the vizier's gifted daughter who recounts imaginative tales night after night in an effort to distract the murderous king from taking her life. A Hundred and One Nights features an almost entirely different set of stories, however, each one more thrilling, amusing, and disturbing than the last. Here, we encounter tales of epic warriors, buried treasure, disappearing brides, cannibal demon-women, fatal shipwrecks, and clever ruses, where human strength and ingenuity play out against a backdrop of inexorable, inscrutable fate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistinctly rooted in Arabic literary culture and the Islamic tradition, these tales draw on motifs and story elements that circulated across cultures, including Indian and Chinese antecedents, and features a frame story possibly older than its more famous sibling. This vibrant translation of \u003cem\u003eA Hundred and One Nights\u003c\/em\u003e promises to transport readers, new and veteran alike, into its fantastical realms of magic and wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHundred and One Nights\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Young Merchant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNajm al-Diyā' ibn Mudir al-Mulk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCamphor Island\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZafir ibn Lāhiq\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vizier and his Son\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKing Sulayman ibn 'Abd al-Malik\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaslamah ibn 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan (God Show Them Mercy)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGharībat al-Husn and the Young Egyptian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Young Egyptian and his Wife\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe King and his Three Sons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Young Man and the Necklaces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Four Companions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prince and the Seven Viziers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe King and the Serpent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ebony Horse\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe King and the Gazelle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vizier Ibn Abi l-Qamar and 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Arabic Literature","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14425740967971,"sku":"9781479873234","price":24.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/products\/8cd7350f4f4a40b08c225d7e3efb7bc20ddad07e.jpg?v=1554950621","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.live\/products\/ahundredandonenights","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
