Scheherazade

Fatima Mernissi

Washington Square Press, 2001

Excellent book! A must read!!
Fatema Mernissi's "Scheherezade Goes West" is an incredible book. I could not put it down once I began reading it. I highly recommend it......I keep talking about it to everyone I know. I think that her observations have quite a bit of truth behind them, even with ...

One Thousand and One Nights, Vol. 4 (One Thousand and One Nights)

JinSeok Jeon, SeungHee Han

Yen Press, 2008

Another Volume of Gorgeous Art with Bittersweet Plot
For me, this volume has been just as wonderful as the other ones have and after scavenging for this volume for literally months (the series seems to have changed publishers and its release date was pushed back quite a few months) and I finally found it by change in a ...

Shadow Spinner (A Jean Karl Book)

Susan Fletcher

Aladdin Paperbacks, 1999

Great read!
This book was both spell-binding and educational. I read it to my 11 and 12 year old daughters. They could read it themselves, but I enjoyed it too. It has a mature theme, but it is handled well. It also has a subtle wisdom that is neither preachy nor heavy handed. ...

A Sister to Scheherazade

Assia Djebar

Heinemann, 1993

One of the best books I have read in the past 10 years
This book is written by 4-time nobel prize nominated author Assia Djebar, who combines the wonderful poetic tradition of her native Algerian Arabic in a story translated from the French, that not only gives us a picture of modern Algerian women and what their lives can ...

One Thousand and One Nights, Vol. 5 (One Thousand and One Nights)

JinSeok Jeon, SeungHee Han

Yen Press, 2008

A nice break...
I actually quite enjoyed this volume. It was a nice break from all the seriousness, and a happy moment in a series of rather depressing, but very well done stories. The story in this book is cut off, incomplete, as it's supposed to be finished in the following book, ...

The Riddle of Scheherazade: And Other Amazing Puzzles

Raymond Smullyan

Harvest Books, 1998

The only logic book you'll ever need
Seeing my frustration at being thoroughly unchallenged in logic in my math class at school, my mom bought me this book. I owe her one. There are coercive logic puzzles, easy but sneaky riddles, and math games. There are liar/truthteller problems to keep you guessing ...

One Thousand And One Nights Volume 2 (One Thousand and One Nights)

Jin-Seok Jeon, Sueng-Hee Han

Ice Kunion, 2006

Very Surprising
I am not normally one to read shôjo or yaoi manga/manhwa, preferring books like "Lone Wolf and Cub", but when I saw a preview for this in a friend's Ice Kunion collection I thought the twist looked interesting and the art was very good. So I bought a copy, and was ...

Composed in 1888 by a Russian master of orchestration and luminous tone-painting, this shimmering, evocative musical treatment of the legend of the storytelling sultana is imbued with exotic Near Eastern moods and the subtle flavor of Russian folk music.A beloved symphonic composition.

Scheherazade

Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov

Dover Publications, 1984

Scheherazade, Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakow
Among Rimsky-Korsakow's most beloved works, this orchestral poem depicting select tales from Scheherazade and 1001 Nights. The score is very durable and will lie flat nicely on a desk or music stand. The print is very large and easy to read, despite it's smaller ...

It is nearly twenty years since Scheherazade spun her tales for a thousand and one nights; the tales that saved her life and immortalised the city that she had never seen -- until now. Scheherazade and her husband, King Shahriyar, arrive in Baghdad to a rapturous welcome from the Caliph and his people, but within hours the Queen is kidnapped from ...
