Within the frame story, Shahrazad tells a succession of tales to King Shahriyar, using storytelling itself as a means of survival. Her narratives open onto a vast imaginative world of merchants, rulers, travellers, thieves, lovers, spirits and magical transformations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoving between adventure, romance, comedy, wonder and moral fable, the collection reflects centuries of storytelling from the Middle East and beyond. Its nested tales and memorable characters have had an enormous influence on world literature and popular culture, while the recurring themes of fate, ingenuity, justice, desire and the power of narrative give the stories an enduring appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn good overall condition.
