Over dit boek
In the wake of his wife's betrayal, King Shahriyár's vengeance is absolute: he will marry a new virgin each night and have her executed at dawn. This cycle of terror is shattered when the Wezeer's daughter, Shahrazád, volunteers to become his next bride. Armed only with her wit and the power of narrative, she begins a nightly ritual of storytelling, spinning tales of cunning fishermen and vengeful jinn, star-crossed lovers and disguised caliphs, and magical realms where fate and fortune intertwine. Each dawn, she leaves her tales unfinished, compelling the king to grant her one more day to hear the end, weaving a tapestry of stories that becomes a profound meditation on justice, mercy, love, and the redemptive power of art.
