About this product
Art.: 015-534

Exclusive leather–bound books are more than just books. The cover made of genuine calfskin made in Italy, pony skin, precious stones, voluminous patterns, a luxurious gift case turn these rare editions into works of art. The book covers are handmade, and every inch of leather is the result of the painstaking work of talented craftsmen. Gift books will enhance the interior of the living room and study, add to the bibliophile's collection and become a family heirloom. Such books do not age, and every year they are valued more and more as antiques over which time has no control...

Tales of the Thousand and One Nights is a monument to medieval Arabic and Persian literature, a collection of short stories united by the story of the Persian king Shahriyar and his wife named Shahrazada (Scheherazade). The question of the origin and development of "1001 nights" has not been fully clarified to date. Attempts to search for the ancestral home of this collection in India, made by its first researchers, have not yet received sufficient justification. The prototype of the "Nights" on Arab soil was probably a translation of the Persian collection "Hezar Efsane" (A Thousand Fairy Tales) made in the tenth century. This translation, called "A Thousand Nights" or "A Thousand and One Nights", was, as Arab writers of that time testify, very popular in the capital of the eastern caliphate, in Baghdad. We cannot judge his character, since only the story framing him, which coincides with the frame of "1001 nights", has reached us. Various stories were inserted into this convenient frame at different times, sometimes whole cycles of stories, in turn framed, such as "The Tale of the Hunchback", "The Porter and the Three Girls" and others. Individual fairy tales of the collection, before their inclusion in the written text, often existed independently, sometimes in a more widespread form. It can be reasonably assumed that the first editors of the text of fairy tales were professional storytellers who borrowed their material directly from oral sources; under the dictation of the storytellers, fairy tales were recorded by booksellers who sought to satisfy the demand for the manuscripts of "1001 nights".
