Description

In this captivating volume, Shahrazad spins a tapestry of enchanting Arabic folk tales for her sister, all expertly translated by the renowned Richard F. Burton. These timeless stories have been gathered over centuries from diverse cultures, including Syria, Arabia, Yemen, India, Persia, Egypt, and Asia Minor, with origins dating back to AD 800-900. While Burtons 17-volume collection has garnered many admirers, it has also faced criticism for its archaic language and a preoccupation with sexuality, leading some to describe it as an eccentric ego-trip. His extensive notes and appendices are often seen as “obtrusive, kinky, and highly personal.” Please note that Appendix A is omitted from this recording. (Summary by kirk202 and Wikipedia)
