Abridged One Thousand and One Nights

It is the school of Eastern narrative that taught the world how to tell stories, and how to penetrate the impossible with imagination.

Is it the genius of Scheherazade who made storytelling her means of survival, or is it Shahryar's inherent curiosity?

In this unique abridgement...

We present a concise sample of the tales of One Thousand and One Nights... where the stories are renewed with the succession of nights, so that the tales remain capable of dazzling the reader no matter how times change.
We sail the sea with Sinbad the Sailor on his seven voyages, and fly with the daughters of the Jinn to distant lands, enter the palaces of kings and hear the singing of the slave girls, and the tales of heroes and inspiring adventurers.
We travel through places and times... a journey through Baghdad, Cairo, Damascus, India, Persia, where customs, traditions, strange professions, and exciting and amusing details are revealed.
We will enter mysterious cities whose features are only revealed to those who lose their way... and venture into the world of jinn and magical tricks that can change a person's destiny in an instant.
For more than a thousand years, One Thousand and One Nights was not just entertaining tales, but a secret laboratory for the art of narration, where wonder was created, the world's imagination was shaped, and man learned how life is told.

And we reintroduce these tales in an enjoyable abridged form... in which we have strived to keep all the stories... with serious attempts to facilitate reading... to re-present this literary treasure as a living origin of the art of storytelling, not just a relic from the past.
