The Nights of a Thousand and One Nights - Naguib Mahfouz

A fantasy novel inspired by the world of One Thousand and One Nights and its amazing characters. And just as "One Thousand and One Nights" is considered the most important classical Eastern work and the most fertile in terms of imagination and ideas, this novel appears to be the greatest manifestation of Mahfouz's preserved imagination and the most astonishing among his fantasy and philosophical novels, where he crafts the story of Shahryar and Scheherazade in his own way, blending the worlds of humans and jinn in a magical fabric. In it, the reader learns about the jinn trapped in a lamp since the time of Solomon, and sees the invisibility cap that unleashes evil and control energies, follows Ma'ruf the cobbler and his deeds, and Sinbad the sailor and his adventures, in tales that provoke philosophical reflection as much as they evoke wonder. The novel was published in 1982. Number of pages: 288 pages
