Tales from the Arabic — Volume 02
Text scanned by JC Byers and proof read by the volunteers of the Distributed Proofreaders site
"Tales from the Arabic — Volume 02" by John Payne is a collection of translated stories from the renowned "Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night" written during the late 19th century. This volume continues the traditional narrative framework of storytelling, where various characters recount tales within tales, often laden with moral lessons and social commentary, emphasizing themes of justice, fidelity, and the human condition. The beginning of this volume unfolds with the tale of a pious woman wrongly accused of infidelity by her brother-in-law, leading to her trial and subsequent stoning. However, fate intervenes as she survives and begins a new life, eventually drawing attention as a healer. The story illustrates the consequences of wrongful accusations and societal judgment, while embedding elements of resilience and redemption. Following this narrative are glimpses of other tales that promise to explore the complexities of human relationships, cleverness, and the twists of fate that characterize this rich tradition of storytelling.
