Byers, Sally Gellert, Renate Preuss, and Christine Sturrock "The Arabian Nights Entertainments - Complete" by Jonathan Scott is a collection of classic Middle Eastern folktales and stories compiled during the early 19th century. These tales originate from the legendary "One Thousand and One Nights," featuring various characters, including the clever and resourceful Scheherazade, who tells stories to escape execution from her husband, Sultan Shier-ear. The collection explores themes of love, betrayal, adventure, and the supernatural through captivating narratives that portray a vivid depiction of Eastern medieval life. The opening of this edition presents its context and background, highlighting the collection's rich history. It introduces the Sultan Shier-ear, who, after discovering his wife's infidelity, resolves to marry a new woman each day only to have her executed the next morning, until Scheherazade, the vizier's daughter, volunteers to marry him. In her first night, she begins to tell a story—the tale of a merchant who attracts the wrath of a vengeful genie—capturing the Sultan's interest and leading him to spare her life for another night, setting the stage for a series of interconnected adventures that unfold throughout the book.
