The novel is a humorous oriental romance and allegory written in the style of the Arabian Nights. Like its model, it includes a number of stories within the story, along with poetic asides. (Summary by Wikipedia.)

“The variety of scenes and images, the untiring evolution of plot, the kaleidoscopic shifting of harmonious colours, all these seem of the very essence of Arabia, and to coil directly from some bottle of a genie. Ah! what a bottle!” -Edmund Gosse in Gossip in a Library (9 hr 4 min)

great book!

(5 Sterne)

This is a fanciful and epic tale that is wonderfully entertaining and brilliantly written by an author who Oscar Wilde explains essentially wrote only for himself and for art without any regard for what the public wanted. I’m glad he did! What a great book! It was read well enough to understand with the exception of one reader who’s accent and pronunciation left me missing a few words. I was able to follow he story and enjoyed it greatly! Thanks!
