As revenge on womankind, he decides to wed a different virgin every night, only to have her beheaded at dawn. Such is Shahryar’s practice for three terrible years—until he weds Scheherazade, the maiden who will change his life....\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA breathtaking beauty, Scheherazade is as learned as she is sensuous. Her first night with the king, she uses her imagination, her eloquence, and more than a little cunning to regale him with a tale of genies and wishes, wisely cutting the story short at dawn. The king is so beguiled, he cannot have her murdered without hearing the story’s end. From then on, Scheherazade spends nights conjuring stories of flying carpets and fantastical journeys, always stopping with a cliff-hanger—and saving her own life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition follows the unexpurgated translation of Richard F. Burton, the renowned Victorian explorer. Intricate and inventive, these stories within stories continue to captivate readers as they have for centuries.","brand":"Signet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213741650175,"sku":"9780451530592","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780451530592_s600x595.jpg?v=1775599057","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780451530592","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
