Eventually, Shahryar falls in love with her and renounces his law.Īladdin is a misbehaving young boy who joins the company of a sorcerer who pretends to be Aladdin's uncle. Often, one of her characters will tell his own story, creating an imbedded narrative. Shahrazad tells stories about romances, tragedies, and epic adventures. This continues for 1,001 nights (although it has actually been counted to be 280 nights). Shahryar wishes to hear the rest of the story, so he agrees. But she halts her story at a suspenseful moment and tells Dinazad that she will finish the tale the following night, if the king permits her to live so long. Dinazad wakes her as commanded and, with the king's permission, Shahrazad begins to tell her a story. She asks her sister, Dinazad, to wake her before sunrise and ask for a story. Shahrazad, daughter of the vizier, convinces her father to offer her to Shahryar. The people shocked by the brutality of this law and watches in horror as their king murders their daughters. When Shahryar discovers that his queen at the beginning of the tale is being unfaithful, he declares that all women are the same and vows to take a new bride each night and have her killed the next morning. The primary story is about Shahryar and Shahrazad.
ONE NIGHT IN ARABIA SERIES
Since then, there have been a series of new translations and editions. In 1814, the first Arabic printed edition was published. The first English version appeared in the 19th century, translated by Sir Richard Burton. Golland also added the stories of Aladdin and Ali Baba to the work, which were told to him by a friend's Arabic friend. It was first translated into French by Antoine Golland. It circulated throughout the Middle East before being introduced to Europe in the 18th century. He also describes the Persian works of Hasar Afsana or "Thousand Legends." The stories changed over the years as they were translated and rewritten to accommodate the current society. A century later, al-Mas'udi, an Arabic historian, wrote about Alf Layla or "Thousand Nights," and suggests that their origin is Persian. The earliest piece of the frame story of Shahryar and Shahrazad was written in the ninth century, written in Arabic.
