Nights that should never come to an end. That's how it all began. The nightly tales of Scheherazade, with which she enchants her royal husband and thus continually postpones her own death, transport the reader into the world of bazaars and caravanserais, wise caliphs and cunning merchants, noble ladies and clever wives, powerful sorceresses and evil demons. They tell of harsh strokes of fate and erotic pleasures.
