Few books can compare in beauty and fascination with the tales of "A Thousand and One Nights", whose intricate text resembles the intricate patterns of Persian carpets. Touching stories about romantic lovers, fascinating tales of heroic journeys, funny stories about the tricks of treacherous wives and the revenge of deceived husbands, tales about genies, flying carpets, magic lamps - these amazing, exciting, mysterious works, often devoid of a touch of modesty, embody all the charm and beauty of the medieval East! The translation of the tales of "A Thousand and One Nights" into Russian, done by Mikhail Salye and conveying all the originality and color, has long been considered a classic. However, there has been no complete edition of this outstanding work until now. The time has come to correct this unfortunate omission! We offer readers a collection of fairy tales verified according to the classic eight-volume edition of 1929-1939, as well as other rare publications, with all censorship cuts restored. The publication is accompanied by illustrations by the remarkable St. Petersburg artist Nikolai Alekseevich Ushin, for which he received a Gold Medal at the 1937 World Exhibition held in Paris. The third book includes fairy tales told by Shahrazada in the nights of 719-1001. The volume also includes fairy tales that were not included in the classic eight-volume collection. Among them are such famous stories as "The Caliph for an Hour", "The Tale of Ala-ad-Din and the Enchanted Lamp", "The Tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" and others.
