Description
The young merchant's story concludes: the seven days at home, a gold cassolette offered for a single kiss, and a wife's terrible test of his faith — forty days of recovery, a mind unravelling, the chain in the hospital, and at last the caliph's justice and a name spoken aloud. The Bimaristan — Part Two of Two.
Fresh in-house English rendering from Caussin de Perceval's continuation of Les mille et une nuits (Le Normant, 1806).
