One Thousand and One Nights (11/13)



Le Liver Des Mille Nuits Et Une Nuit (11/13)
Translated to French by J.C. Mardrus
ISBN 4-00-327811-0 (Japanese translation)

The 11th book of "One Thousand and One Nights."
From the night 826 to the night 881.

This book contains "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," and like other famous Arabian Nights juvenile stories, the original story is quite different from my memory.
In a sense, it's a bit cruel, but maybe it's just a problem of cultural difference.
