Content introduction: "One Thousand and One Nights" is also known as "Arabian Nights". According to legend, a king was angry because his queen had an affair with someone. After executing the queen, he married a girl every night and killed the girl the next morning. Scheherazade, the beautiful and intelligent daughter of the prime minister, resolutely voluntarily married into the palace in order to save the innocent girl. She told stories to the king every night to attract him. She told a total of one thousand and one nights of stories, and finally influenced the king. This book is a literal translation by Zhi Puhao, a researcher of Arabic culture at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and a well-known Arabic translator, and includes fourteen classic stories such as "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves", "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp" and "The Adventures of Sinbad". The characters in the story include emperors, generals, princes and princesses, merchants, fishermen, tailors, monks, etc. Borges said that "One Thousand and One Nights" is an endless book, and people want to get lost in it, because they know that once they enter this book, they will forget their pitiful circumstances in life.
