Title: Arabian Nights
Subtitle: Tales From Arabian Nights
Description: **The tales told by Shahrazad over a thousand and one nights to delay her execution by the vengeful King Shahriyar** have become among the most popular in both Eastern and Western literature. From the epic adventures of **"Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp"** to the farcical **"Young Woman and her Five Lovers"** and the social criticism of "The Tale of the Hunchback", the **stories depict a fabulous world of all-powerful sorcerers, jinns imprisoned in bottles and enchanting princesses**. But despite their imaginative extravagance, the Tales are anchored to everyday life by their realism, providing a full and intimate record of medieval Islam.
