Description
A book in the caliph's cabinet tells of adventures that have not yet happened, and the vizir Giafar, banished until he can say what it contains, rides to Damascus — into the keeping of Attaf, the most generous man in Syria, who will give his lovesick guest the one gift no host has ever given: his own beloved wife. Attaf the Generous — Part One of Two.
Fresh in-house English rendering from Caussin de Perceval's continuation of Les mille et une nuits (Le Normant, 1806).
