A fantasy novel inspired by the world of One Thousand and One Nights and its astonishing characters. Just as One Thousand and One Nights is considered one of the most important and fertile classics of the East in terms of imagination and ideas, this novel appears to be the greatest manifestation of Mahfouz’s imagination and the most astonishing of his fantasy and philosophical novels. He recreates the story of Shahryar and Scheherazade in his own unique way, blending the worlds of humans and demons in a magical fabric. The reader learns about the genie, who has been trapped in a bottle since the time of Solomon, and sees the invisibility cap that unleashes the energies of evil and control. He follows Marouf the cobbler and his exploits, and Sinbad the Sailor and his adventures, in tales that incite philosophical contemplation as much as they excite astonishment. The novel was published in 1982.
