About this listen

Dive into the enchanting world of A Thousand Nights and a Night, a mesmerizing collection of stories woven together over centuries by a diverse array of authors, translators, and scholars. This rich tapestry of mythology and folklore spans the Indian subcontinent, Persia, and Arabia, with its origins believed to date back to between AD 800-900. At the heart of these tales is the clever Shahrazad, who captivates her husband, Shahryar, with cliff-hanger stories to save her life. Among the many beloved narratives that have emerged from this compilation are the adventures of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and the thrilling voyages of Sinbad the Sailor. This volume is part of the third of sixteen volumes translated by the renowned Richard Burton.
