«Les Mille et Une Nuits» is a selection of classic tales by Antoine Galland and Hélène Potelet, published by Hatier in paperback (128 pp., in French).
The Sultan of Persia, betrayed by his wife, has each new wife executed every morning. Scheherazade offers to end this custom and each night tells him a story that she interrupts at dawn, so the Sultan spares her life to hear the continuation. The volume brings together several tales, including Aladdin and Ali Baba.
Volume 67 of the Oeuvres & Thèmes collection. Color edition with pedagogical tools and the thematic dossier «Arts et sciences au temps des califes»; published in 2023.
Intended for secondary-school French students, in line with the 5e curriculum, and for those who want to read these tales in their original version.
Antoine Galland was a French orientalist and archaeologist, most famous as the first European translator of One Thousand and One Nights, which he called Les mille et une nuits. His version of the tales appeared in twelve volumes between 1704 and 1717 and exerted a significant influence on subsequent European literature and attitudes to the Islamic world. Jorge Luis Borges has suggested that Romanticism began when his translation was first read.
