Tales of 1001 Nights

The book “The Tales of the Thousand and One Nights” is an immortal monument of medieval Arabic and Persian literature—a vast collection of heroic, adventurous, and trickster tales framed by the story of the cruel-hearted king Shahryar and his wise beautiful wife. The elder daughter of the vizier, Shaherezade, every night tells her husband an enthralling story, breaking off the narrative right at the most interesting moment so that the next night she can continue the tale—and when she finishes, she immediately begins a new one. In this way, she preserves her life and gradually softens the heart of the ruthless ruler. The presented audiobook offers five tales from this collection, surely familiar to everyone from childhood. The famous sailor Sinbad, the lucky poor boy Aladdin, the woodcutter Ali Baba who outwitted the greedy robbers, and other characters of these magical stories come to life for you again. Enjoy amazing tales accompanied by exquisite Eastern melodies!
