The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night — Volume 06 (of 10)
The sixth volume of Sir Richard Francis Burton's translation of the Arabian Nights, published in 1885, contains the tales most often retold from the collection. It opens with the seven voyages of Sindbad the Seaman: the whale-island, the roc and the valley of diamonds, the Old Man of the Sea and the cannibal giant. The City of Brass follows, an expedition into the desert to find the bottles in which Solomon imprisoned the jinn. Then comes the Craft and Malice of Women, the frame story of the king, his son, his concubine and the seven wazirs with its many inset tales, and the volume ends with Judar and His Brethren and the long history of Gharib and his brother Ajib. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first story is free.
