	The Thousand and One Nights (alf layla wa layla)
		The Thousand and One Nights (alf layla wa layla) or The Arabian Nights, as they came to be known, owes its origins to three distinct cultures and storytelling traditions: that of India, Persia and the Arab world.
		While chroniclers from the 10th century maintain that the tales were derived from a Persian book of folk tales called, 'Hazarafsaneh' (A Thousand Stories) the exact origins of The Arabian Nights is not certain and academic opinions are divided.
		The success of The Arabian Nights stories over many other forgotten folk tales may be due to their blend of popular themes; heroic and romantic adventures are littered with mystery, old wisdom and exciting struggles between good and evil.

		The author has written an introduction and an epilogue that attempt to explain the origins of the mythical stories and their various forms.
		However, first of all, we must understand the nature of the link between "The Thousand and One Nights" and this "freshly baked" collection in Hebrew.
		"The Thousand and One Nights" are a collection of tales that began to coalesce in the ancient (Oriental) world, was reformulated during the Ottoman period and became an integral part of European culture in the first half of the 18th century - that is, an integral part of the Western canon.

		Briefly, the object of this version is to show what "The Thousand Nights and a Night" really is. Not, however, for reasons to be more fully stated in the Terminal Essay, by straining verbum reddere verbo, but by writing as the Arab would have written in English.
		It uses, like the holy books of the Hebrews, expressions "plainly descriptive of natural situations;" and it treats in an unconventionally free and naked manner of subjects and matters which are usually, by common consent, left undescribed.
		Now it so happened that I went forth and was absent one whole year; and when I returned from my journey I came to her by night, and saw a fl slave lying with her on the carpet bed and they were talking, and dallying, and laughing, and kissing and playing the close buttock game.
