 | | Every night after their marriage, she spends hours telling him stories, each time stopping at dawn with a cliff-hanger, so the king will postpone the execution out of a desire to hear the rest of the tale. | | | Perhaps the best-known translation to English speakers is that by Sir Richard Francis Burton, published as The Arabian Nights. | | | The Thousand Nights and a Night in several classic translations, including unexpurgated version by Sir Francis Burton, and John Payne translation, with additional material. |

| | Arabian Nights Its Origins and Legacy - MiddleEastUK.com: Mosaic |
| | The success of The Arabian Nights stories over many other forgotten folk tales may be due to their blend of popular themes; heroic and romantic adventures are littered with mystery, old wisdom and exciting struggles between good and evil. | | | Two of the most popular stories in The Arabian Nights are those of 'Shahriyar and Shahrazad', the first and main story, and 'Sinbad the Sailor'. | | | Her story, or stories, since many tales are interwoven and imbedded into the first, lasts for two years and 271 days, if we are to take the 1001 nights literary. |

| | And Sharazad, smart lady that she is, took care to insure her own future; not only does she regale her sultan with a thousand and one tales in as many nights, she also presents him with three children during that time, wins the heart of the sultan, and, we suppose, lives happily ever after. | | | Burton, through his unparalelled knack for translation, managed to capture all the magic and mystery that are the Arabian Nights. | | | Sharazad knows that a good tale can tame the savage beast much in the way music can, and she keeps the Sultan enchanted night after night with the tales that still enchant us in our own time. |

| | Like all fairy tales, there are a few which are grisly, including the frame story of Sheherezade who must tell a story a night in order to win her life in the day from the disgruntled Shah. | | | Of course, after 1001 nights of devious story-telling, she had saved her life forever. | | | The primary point is that God has instilled innate knowledge of Himself and His goodness and basic moral tenants within every man, and hence every culture, whether that man or culture recognises that God-shaped hole within him. |

| | The stories are delightful, and the framework in which they are set -- the tale of Shahrazad (Sheherazade) who is condemned to death, and who saves herself by telling one story after another -- provides a unique 'arabian' spice to the tales. | | | While Arab scholars concentrated their praise on the glories of classical poetry and literature, the people enjoyed these simple tales of life in Mesopotamia (Iraq) in the first millennium of our era. | | | Classic Book: The Thousand and One Nights, or |
