‘’arabian nights’’

The Arabian Nights is a story straight out of a romance novel. It's an epic

collection of Arabic folk tales written during the Islamic Golden Age. Scorned by

an unfaithful wife, Shahryar is the king of a great empire, but is brokenhearted.

Shahryar chose to marry a new woman every day only to kill her the next morning.

Needless to say, this did not make him a very popular ruler.

More and more innocent women die until one day Scheherazade,

The daughter of the king's top advisor, offers to marry the king.

The king and advisor both protest, but Scheherazade insists,

all knowing that the night could be her last. That night, she requests

the presence of her sister and tells a story that manages to be the

beginning of dozens of stories meant to keep her alive.
