Tales of Arabian Nights 1.2.7

Tales of Arabian Nights is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales.

Arabian Nights, also known as One Thousand and One Nights (Arabic: أَلْف لَيْلَة وَلَيْلَة‎ ʾAlf layla wa-layla), is a compilation crafted over centuries by multiple authors, translators, and scholars spanning West, Central, and South Asia and North Africa. These stories have their origins in ancient and medieval Arabic, Greek, Indian, Jewish, Persian, and Turkish folklore and literature. Notably, many tales were adapted from folk stories during the Abbasid era, while others, particularly the overarching narrative, likely find their roots in the Pahlavi Persian work "Hezār Afsān" (Persian: هزار افسان‎, lit. A Thousand Tales), which itself drew inspiration from Indian elements.

Some stories from Tales of Arabian Nights:

• Shahryār and Scheherazade
• The Merchant and the Genie
• The Fisherman
• The Second Old Man with Two Black Dogs
• And many more...

A common thread in all editions of Arabian Nights is the initial frame story featuring Shahryār and his wife Scheherazade along with the framing device interwoven throughout the tales. Stories evolve from this foundational narrative; some are nested within others, while some stand independently. Editions range from a few hundred nights to 1,001 or more. The prose predominantly drives the tales forward while occasional verses underscore songs, riddles, and heightened emotions—comprising mostly single couplets or quatrains intermixed with longer poems.
