Description:
This is the 2012 Turkish edition of One Thousand and One Nights (Binbir Gece Masalları), published by Yapı Kredi Yayınları as a special hardcover edition. Attributed to anonymous storytellers and shaped over centuries through oral and written traditions, the collection brings together some of the most famous tales in world literature, including stories of adventure, love, intrigue, magic, wealth and extraordinary journeys.
The collection is built around the legendary storytelling of Şehrazad, who tells King Şehriyar a series of stories night after night, leaving each tale at a moment of suspense so that her life will be spared for another night. Within this framework are countless memorable characters, rulers, merchants, travelers, lovers, genies and fantastical creatures, creating a vast literary world that moves between the everyday and the supernatural.
For collectors, this is an especially attractive complete 2-volume set presented in a special hardcover edition by Yapı Kredi Yayınları. A complete edition of one of the world's great literary story collections is already desirable, while the hardcover presentation and two-volume format give this copy a strong presence as a collectible set.
