One Thousand and One Nights (3/13)



Le Liver Des Mille Nuits Et Une Nuit (3/13)
Translated to French by J.C. Mardrus
ISBN 4-00-327803-8 (Japanese translation)

The 3rd book of "One Thousand and One Nights."
From the night 44 to the night 129.

This book contains the longest story among the One Thousand and One Nights.
The story is about 3 generation people of Christian and Islamic worlds. I felt strange because the culture of the Christian people there look like Islamic based one, but anyway I enjoyed the long long story with a strange and in a sense tough old woman who plays a key role throughout the whole story line. Anyway, you can enjoy different aspect of he One Thousand and One Nights from the previous 2 books.
