The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night

ebook
Published in [1885.] From the translator’s foreword: Briefly, the object of this version is to show what "The Thousand Nights and a Night" really is…My work claims to be a faithful copy of the great Eastern Saga-book, by preserving intact, not only the spirit, but even the mécanique, the manner and the matter. Hence, however prosy and long-drawn out be the formula, it retains the scheme of the Nights because they are a prime feature in the original.
