Book excerpt: "Arabian Nights',also known as "One Thousand and One Nights" is a collection of Middle Eastern and South Asian stories and folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. These stories and tales are told by Scheherazade, the vizier's daughter, to Sasanian king ruling in India and China, He is shocked to discover that his brother's wife is unfaithful; discovering his own wife's infidelity has been even more flagrant, he has her executed, and hereby decides that all women are the same. Shahryar begins to marry a succession of virgins only to execute each one the next morning. Eventually the vizier, whose duty it is to provide them, cannot find any more virgins. Scheherazade, offers herself as the next bride and her father reluctantly agrees. On the night of their marriage, Scheherazade begins to tell the king a tale, but does not end it. The king, curious about how the story ends, is thus forced to postpone her execution in order to hear the conclusion. The next night, as soon as she finishes the tale, she begins (and only begins) a new one, and the king, eager to hear the conclusion, postpones her execution once again. So it goes on for 1,001 nights. In the end, the king giving his wife a pardon and sparing her life. These stories and tales are full of cliffhangers and have happy endings; they reflect the valiant adventure of human being for pursuing treasure and wealth and a good life.
