Eastern Legends

Karam El Bustani

Since the dawn of civilization, humans have begun weaving stories, whether initially based on religious tales, cosmic assumptions, or news of kings, with human imagination manipulating them to eventually transform them into legends of unknown origin, passed down through generations. In the first part of this book, the author selects Eastern legends to present them to the reader as a means of entertainment and pleasure. Then, in the second part, he explains the connection between history and each of these legends, in an attempt to reach their true origin from which they emerged. He also provided at the end of the book a glossary explaining the names and specializations of the gods, and the names of the heroes and places that were the scene of events.
