"The Arabian Nights," also known as "One Thousand and One Nights," is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled during the Islamic Golden Age. The stories are framed around the character of Scheherazade, a clever woman who tells tales to her husband, King Shahryar, to delay her execution. Each night, she leaves the story unfinished, captivating the king and sparing her life. The tales include famous stories such as Aladdin, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and Sinbad the Sailor. These narratives explore themes of adventure, love, and morality, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Arab world and its storytelling traditions.
