Arabian Nights

eBook (Titan Read May 13, 2015)
One Thousand and One Nights is a collection of West and South Asian stories and folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is known in English as the Arabian Nights, from the first English language edition (1706), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment.

The first story of the ruler Schahriar (from Persian: شهريار‎, meaning "king" or "sovereign") and his wife Scheherazade (from Persian: شهرزاد‎, possibly meaning "of noble lineage) works as a framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale and some are framed within other tales, while others begin and end of their own accord.
