Produced by Mark C. Orton, Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Les mille et une nuits: contes choisis" by Antoine Galland and Godefroy Durand is a classic collection of Middle Eastern folk tales likely compiled during the early 18th century. This enchanting anthology features the iconic character Scheherazade, who tells stories to captivate her husband, Sultan Schahriar, and delay her execution by weaving intricate tales each night. The narratives traverse a rich tapestry of adventure, love, betrayal, and magic, resonating with themes of cunning and resourcefulness. The opening portion introduces us to Scheherazade's desperate situation as the sultan, heartbroken over his wife's infidelity, has adopted a cruel practice of marrying a new woman each day, only to execute her the following morning. In a bold move to end his tyranny, Scheherazade volunteers to marry the sultan herself. Through her intellect and storytelling prowess, she begins her first tale featuring a merchant and a vengeful genie, strategically pausing at dawn to ensure her survival. Thus, an alluring cycle of storytelling commences, setting the stage for a series of fantastical adventures that blur the lines between reality and the supernatural.
