The Arabian Nights Entertainments
by (anon.) from c. 800–1200 CE (compiled); first printed in French 1704
About
Lang's selection from the Arabian Nights presents Sinbad, Ali Baba, Scheherazade's framing device, and other canonical stories from the most influential story collection in world literature. The Nights entered European culture in the early 18th century through Galland's French translation. Each story works as a standalone 30-60 minute reading; the ensemble of djinni, caliphs, merchants, and thieves gives natural group roles.
Translated from the original Arabic.
