Marion Crawford is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Khaled, a former genie who becomes a mortal man after requesting to experience life on earth. His journey unfolds as he navigates the complexities of love and duty in the Arabian landscape, particularly in the court of a Sultan, where he seeks the hand of the beautiful princess Zehowah. The opening of the novel introduces us to Khaled in a celestial realm, where he stands before Asrael, the angel of Death, pleading for the chance to live as a human. Khaled recounts his purpose for descending to Earth: to win the love of Zehowah, the Sultan's daughter. His tale sets up a rich backdrop of Arabian culture and mysticism, establishing the stakes of his quest for love while hinting at challenges that arise from both personal desires and external political intricacies.
