One Thousand and One Nights - 4 volumes (study volume with 3 parts)

4 parts (study of al-Qalamawi and 3 parts for the book issued by the Authority) in 2019, the Sharjah Institute for Heritage, in cooperation with the Egyptian General Book Authority, republished the book "One Thousand and One Nights" by Dr. Soheir al-Qalamawi, which was originally a doctoral thesis submitted in 1941, and draws from the endless source of that literary reference, which is the tales of "One Thousand and One Nights," a subject always of interest to Arab and foreign researchers. If those research efforts were to be combined into one volume, the most fitting title would be: "One Thousand and One Recoveries and Recoveries." The tales in the book continue to inspire readers and researchers. And although there is a difference noted by al-Qalamawi in her book, it is in the comprehensiveness and scientific accuracy in addressing the tales, tracing them back to their origins, whether they involve supernatural beings, creatures, stories told by animals, or facts whether they are real or imaginary. The remarkable aspect of the book is the introduction written by Dr. Taha Hussein (1889–1973), the novelist, critic, and specialist in Arabic literature. The presence of an introduction by the dean of Arabic literature is sufficient to attract interest in the book, as he described the research effort as: "A splendid thesis among the doctoral theses distinguished by the Faculty of Arts at Cairo University, and its excellence comes from its author, Soheir al-Qalamawi... who introduced herself as (My grandmother's stories)." Even though we, her teachers, knew her as diligent in her studies, precise in her research, and meticulous in her inquiry when addressing a scientific topic. The great writer points out that the brilliance of the thesis lies in its subject, "One Thousand and One Nights," a book that has captivated generations in the East and West for centuries, which the East viewed as entertainment and amusement, and the West saw it as such too, but beyond that, it is worthy of productive research and fruitful study.
