Les mille et une nuits - Tome premier by Antoine Galland

"Les mille et une nuits - Tome premier" by Antoine Galland is a translation published between 1704-1717. This anonymous collection of Arabic tales draws from Persian and Indian sources, featuring stories within stories and mirrored characters. The frame narrative follows Scheherazade, who tells tales night after night. The collection's origins span centuries, blending Indo-Persian, Arab, and Egyptian folklore. Galland's pioneering French translation introduced these enchanting tales to Western audiences, launching Europe's fascination with oriental storytelling.
