To end this brutal pattern, the vizier's daughter, Shahrazad, begins to tell the king enchanting tales of mystical lands peopled with princes and hunchbacks, of the Angel of Death and magical spirits, and of jinnis trapped in rings and in lamps--a sequence of stories that will last 1,001 nights, and that will save her own life.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMalcolm Lyons \u003c\/b\u003e(co-translator) is a professor of Arabic at the University of Cambridge and a widely published scholar of classical Arabic literature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eUrsula Lyons\u003c\/b\u003e (co-translator) is an emeritus fellow of Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge, specializes in modern Arabic literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eRobert Irwin\u003c\/b\u003e (editor, introducer) is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Arabian Nights: A Companion\u003c\/i\u003e as well as numerous other studies of Middle Eastern politics, art and mysticism.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 800\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.47 x 7.88 x 5.58 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 25, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44299715051622,"sku":"9780140449396","price":29.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/a3g5L01pNTAwaG0xcHgra2Jza0FSdz09.webp?v=1767318937","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-arabian-nights-volume-2-tales-of-1001-nights-nights-295-to-719-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
