First collected nearly a millennium ago, these olktales are presented as stories that the beautiul Scheherazade tells her husband, King Shahryar, over 1001 consecutive nights. They include some o the best-known legends o eastern storytelling: “The Seven Voyages o Sinbad the Sailor,” “The Story o Aladdin; or, The Wonderul Lamp,” and “The Story o Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.” This beautiul collection eatures more than 20 tales plus illustrations in ull color and black and white by René Bull.
flew into a passion, threw a little of his incense into the fire, and pronounced two magical words. Immediately the stone moved into its place, with the earth over it in the same manner as it lay at the arrival of the magician and Aladdin. This action plainly showed that the magician was not his uncle, but some adventurer who sought to possess the lamp, of which he had read in the magic books. And, moreover, it was but recently that he had learned where the wonderful lamp was concealed. He had also discovered that he must receive the lamp from another’s hand, so he chanced to select Aladdin, whose life he reckoned as nought. When the magician saw that all his hopes were frustrated, he returned the same day to Africa; but kept away from the town, lest Aladdin’s absence should be noticed and questions asked. When Aladdin found himself shut in, he cried, and called out to his uncle, to tell him he was ready to give him the lamp; but in vain, since his cries could not be heard. He descended to the bottom of the steps, with a design to get into the garden, but the door, which was opened before by enchantment, was now shut by the same means. He then redoubled his cries and tears, sat down on the steps, without any hopes of ever seeing light again, and in a melancholy certainty of passing from the present darkness into that of a speedy death. Clasping his hands with an entire resig- nation to the will of God, he said, There is no strength or power but in the great and high God, and in joining his hands he rubbed the ring which the magician had put on his finger. Immediately a genie of frightful aspect rose out of the earth, his head reaching the roof of the vault, and said to him, What wouldst thou have? I am ready to obey thee as thy slave, and the slave of all who Plate 15 A genie of frightful aspect rose 200 THE STORY OF ALADDIN; OR, THE WONDERFUL LAMP

Although avarice made me loath to forego so much, I had no alternative but to accept the terms the dervise offered. When he had heard my decision he led me to the place. It was a valley situated between two high mountains, so secluded that there was no fear of discovery. When we arrived the dervise bade me stop my camels, and he quickly collected some sticks and proceeded to kindle a fire, pronouncing over it an incantation. A dense smoke arose from the fire, and when this had cleared away I perceived that the sides of the cliff opposite to us had rolled back, revealing a magnificent palace in the side of the mountain, with great heaps of treasure lying about. I was as rapacious as a bird of prey in the way I seized the gold and filled my sacks, until I perceived that the dervise paid more heed to the jewels, when I followed his example, so that we took away more jewels than gold. Among other things the dervise took a small golden vase, which he showed me contained nothing more than a glutinous ointment; and after we had loaded our camels he closed the rock by using some mystic words. We now divided our camels, each taking forty, and travelled together till we came to the great road, where we were to part; the dervise to go to Bussorah, and I to Bagdad. We embraced each other with great joy, and taking our leave pursued our different routes.

The king went on, putting always his finger to his mouth, until he found himself suddenly taken with an extraordinary fit, his eye- sight failed, and he fell down at the foot of the throne in violent convulsions. When the physician Douban, or rather his head, saw that the poison had taken effect, and that the king had but a few moments to live; Tyrant, it cried, now you see how princes are treated, who, abusing their authority, cut off innocent men: God punishes soon or late their injustice and cruelty. Scarcely had the head spo- ken these words, when the king fell down dead, and the head itself lost what life it had. As soon as the fisherman had concluded the history of the Greek king and his physician Douban, he applied it to the genie, whom he still kept shut up in the vessel. If the king, said he, had suffered the physician to live, God would have continued his life also. The case is the same with thee, O genie; but I am obliged, in my turn, to be equally hard-hearted to thee. Hear me one word more, cried the genie; I prom- ise to do thee no hurt; nay, far from that, I will show thee a way to become exceedingly rich.
