The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night - Vol. IX

In this volume, Richard F. Burton opens a window onto the restless, half-legendary world of Scheherazade's tales—where love turns on a knife's edge, fortunes swing with the turn of a whisper, and every night promises both wonder and danger. Expect stories shaped by clever disguises, sudden reversals, and the constant tension between fate and choice. Strange encounters lead to hard-earned lessons, while moral reckonings arrive disguised as entertainment. Rich with atmosphere and Burton's distinctive, antiquarian flavor, this “Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night” offers a sequence of vivid episodes that feel at once intimate and immense—an intoxicating blend of romance, intrigue, and the uncanny. The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night - Vol. IX is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1885.
