The Arabian N ights > ntertainments - Volume 01
by Anonymous - translated by Dr. Jonathan Scott (1754-1829)
The main frame story concerns a king and his new bride. The king, Shahryar,
upon discovering his ex-wife’s infidelity executes her and then declares all women
to be unfaithful. He begins to marry a succession of virgins only to execute each
one the next morning. Scheherazade agrees to marry him and each night,
beginning on the night of their marriage, she tells the king a tale but does not end
it so that the king keeps her alive in order to hear the next tale. The stories
proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others
begin and end of their own accord. Some editions contain only a few hundred
tales, while others include 1001 or more stories and “nights.” (Summary from
Wikipedia)
Well known stories from the Nights include Aladdin, Ali Baba and the Forty
Thieves, and The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor. This translation is by Dr.
Jonathan Scott.
