Full of mischief, valor, ribaldry, and romance, The Arabian Nights has enthralled readers for centuries. These are the tales that saved the life of Shahrazad, whose husband, the king, executed each of his wives after a single night of marriage. Beginning an enchanting story each evening. Shahrazad always withheld the ending: A thousand and one nights later, her life was spared forever. This volume reproduces the 1932 Modern Library edition, for which Bennett A. Cerf chose the "most famous and representative" stories from Sir Richard F. Burton's multivolume translation. These tales, including "Aladdin; or, the Wonderful Lamp" and "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," have entered into the popular imagination, demonstrating that Shahrazad's spell remains unbroken.
