As soon as they perceived the favourite Schemselnihar at a di stance, they made her a profound reverence, which she returned them from her throne. When they approached, she arose and went to meet Mesrour, who advanced first; she asked what news he brought?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arabian Nights Entertainments: Consisting of a Collection of Stories, Told by the Sultaness of the Indies Schahriar, the great Sultan of the Indies, finding; his Sultaness unfaithful, was so enraged, that he resolved toned a in maiden every night, and put her to death next morning: and accordingly he ordered the grand vizier to bring him the daughter of one of his officers. The vizier obeyed: the sultan lay with her, and next morning ordered the vizier to strangle her, and get him another. And in a word, there was every day a maid married, and a wife murdered. The grand vizier, who was the executioner, had two daughters, the eldest called Scheherazade, and the youngest Dinarzade: the eldest was a lady of very great merit, had courage, wit, and penetration, far above her sex. she had read abundance, and had such a fine memory, that she never forgot any thing. She had applied herself to philosophy, physic, history, and the liberal arts; besides this she was a perfect beauty, and all her fine qualifications was crowned by solid virtue. The vizier was extremely fond of so worthy a daughter: and one day, as they were discoursing together, she said to her father. I have one favor to beg of you, and most humbly pray you to grant it me; I will not refuse it, said he, provided it be just. For the justness of it, says she, there can be no question: I have a design to stop the sultan's barbarity, and I conjure you to procure me the honor of his bed. O heavens! replied the vizier, have you lost your senses? Dear father, said she, I know the danger: if I perish, my death will be glorious; and if I succeed, I shall do my country an important piece of service. The vizier could not dissuade her from her design; so he went that minute to acquaint the sultan that next night he would bring him Scheherazade. The sultan was surprised at the sacrifice which he made him. How could you resolve on it, says he? Sir, answers the vizier, it's her own offer; she prefers the honor of being your majesty's wife one night to her life. Don't mistake yourself, vizier, says the sultan: to-morrow when I put Scheherazade into your hands, to take away her life if you fail, I swear you shall die. Sir, says the vizier, I will obey your orders: so Schahriar told him he might bring his daughter when he pleased.

For, considering what he had said, he was afraid Sinbad had sent for him to punish him: therefore he would have excused himself, alleging, that he could not leave his burden in the middle of the street. But Sinbad's servants assured him they would look to it, and were so urgent with him, that he was obliged to yield.

Download or read book Stories From the Thousand and One Nights Vol 16 written by Charles W Eliot and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories From the Thousand and One Nights, Vol. 16: The Arabian Nights' Entertainments Of a collection of fables, fairy-stories, and anecdotes of historical personages such as this, there can, of course, be no question of a single author. Both before and after they were placed in the mouth of Shahrazad. they were handed down by oral recitation, the usual form of story-telling among the Arabs. As in the case of our own popular ballads, whatever marks of individual authorship any one story may originally have borne, would be obliterated in the course of generations of tradition by word of mouth. Of the personality of an original editor or compiler, even, we have no trace. Long after writing had to some extent fixed their forms, the oral repetition went on; and some of them could be heard in Mohammedan countries almost down to our own times. In the two hundred years of their currency in the West, the stories of the "Nights" have engrafted themselves upon European culture. They have made the fairy-land of the Oriental imagination and the mode of life of the medieval Arab, his manners and his morals, familiar to young and old; and allusions to their incidents and personages are wrought into the language and literature of all the modern civilized peoples. Their mark is found upon music and painting as well as on letters and the common speech, as is witnessed by such diverse results of their inspiration as the music of Rimsky-Korsakoff, the illustrations of Parrish, and the marvelous idealization of their background and atmosphere in Tennyson's "Recollections of the Arabian Nights," "Barmecide Feast," "Open Sesame," "Old Lamps for New," "Solomon's Seal," "The Old Man of the Sea," "The Slave of the Lamp," "The Valley of Diamonds," "The Roc's Egg, Haroun al-Raschid and his Garden of Delight these and many more phrases and allusions of every-day occurrence suggest how pervasive has been the influence of this wonder-book of the mysterious East. The translation by E. W. Lane used here has been the standard English version for general reading for eighty years. The translations of "'Ali Baba" and "'Ala-ed-Din" are by S. Lane-Poole and for permission to use the latter we are indebted to Messrs. G. P. Putnam's Sons. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Thousand and One Nights: Or, the Arabian Nights' Entertainments The princes having disguised themselves, left the city secretly, and' travelled till evening, when they arrived at the sea-side. At. Daybreak they were alarmed by afright ful noise from the sea, and had scarce time to climb up into a tree, when they perceived a large column arise in the midst of the water, and advance toward the shore. They presently found that it was oneof those malignant genii, who are enemies to mankind, and always doing them mischief. He was black, terrific, and appeared like a giant of prodigious stature; he carried on his head a great glass box, which shut with four locks. Having laid his box down, be seated himself by it, and opened it; when there came out a beautiful lady, magnificently dressed. She sat down by the monster, who said to her in a voice of tenderness, My charming mistress, whom I stole on your wedding day, and have loved with so much constancy ever since, let me repose a while by you; I came hither on purpose to take rest. Having spoke thus, he laid down his huge head on the lady's knees and fell asleep. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arabian Nights' Entertainments: Stories From the Thousand and One Nights, Told for Young People The vizier himself had two charming daughters, the elder of whom was called Scheherazade and the younger Dinarzade. The former had read many books of history and stories of past times, and when she saw her father sad and downcast she said to him: Why do I see thee so changed and oppressed with grief? One of our poets has said, Tell him who is anxious that this will not last; As happiness passes, so passes anxiety. Then the vizier told her all that had happened, and she said to him: 0 my father, give me in marriage to the king! If I die, I shall at least save one other woman, and if I live, I shall be the deliverer of all the rest. In vain did the unhappy vizier protest against his daughter's plan. Finding all his arguments of no avail, he finally betook himself to the king. Meanwhile Scheherazade unfolded her plan to her sister and obtained the promise of her assistance.
