Tales from the 1001 Nights
Tales from the 1001 Nights
Translated by Sir Richard Burton

So many stories that I already knew on one hand. And yet told differently than I remembered. One of the main things I saw was no respect for women. I can only remember one mother who is talked of well, otherwise the women are ridiculed and belittled. Their opinions are so unimportant that it is even shocking that they speak. And yes, I understand that it is the custom of the time/religion/whatever. I can still be annoyed at it!
