About this book
Tausend und eine Nacht, Band 1 by Unknown plunges listeners into the beguiling frame tale of Scheherazade, whose nightly narratives become a lifeline against a ruler’s deadly decree. The opening volume of this classic collection blends fairy tales, fiction, and high-seas adventure into a tapestry of framed stories that range from tender romances and clever trickery to dark politics and moral puzzles.
Originating from medieval Arabic, Persian and Indian oral traditions, these stories carry the cultural richness of the medieval Middle East, preserved through centuries as a monument to narrative power. Scheherazade’s gift—leaving each tale unfinished until the next night—creates suspense while exploring themes of survival, justice, love, and the transformative power of storytelling. The episodic structure showcases a variety of tones and settings, from palace intrigue to exotic voyages, making each chapter a fresh discovery without spoiling the surprises that lie ahead.
Ideal for fans of classic fairy tales, lovers of adventure fiction, and anyone who enjoys immersive oral storytelling, this audiobook is perfect for listeners who savor layered narratives, moral complexity, and the timeless charm of the Arabian Nights tradition.
