- Synopsis
- After King Shahryar had his wife killed for cheating, he began to corrupt--then kill--one virgin a night, as revenge on womankind. Then he meets Scheherazade, who, night after night, saves her own life by telling him fantastical tales of genies, wishes, terror, and passion. Famous stories from here are Aladdin and His Magic Lamp, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and others. Frequent telling of sexual activities through analogy. There is a glossary at the end, which would be helpful to read before beginning. The original (supposedly) 30 volumes were later whittled down to 10 volumes, and now to one volume of the major stories and other of lesser stories.
