The Nights of the Thousand and One Nights

A brief about the book a fantasy novel inspired by the world of ألف ليلة وليلة and its amazing characters. And just as “ألف ليلة وليلة” is considered the most important classical eastern works and the most fertile in terms of imagination and ideas, this novel appears to be the greatest manifestation of محفوظ's imagination and the most astonishing among his fantasy and philosophical novels, where he crafts the story of شهريار and شهرزاد in his own way, blending the worlds of humans and jinn in a magical fabric. In it, the reader gets to know the jinn trapped in a lamp since the time of سليمان, and sees the invisibility cap that unleashes evil and control energies, follows معروف الإسكافي and his deeds, and Sinbad the sailor and his adventures, in stories that provoke philosophical reflection as much as they evoke wonder. The novel was published in 1982. The author's name نجيب محفوظ Publisher ديوان Number of pages 288
