101 Nacht

A jewel of Arabic literature!

A literary sensation: Arabist Claudia Ott has discovered an 800-year-old manuscript, revealing a good dozen brand new, previously unknown Scheherazade stories! The enchanting little sister of "1001 Nights" is now celebrating its world premiere two and a half years after the discovery. One of the most impressive classic events of recent decades!

Noble knights and cunning villains, Bedouins and grand viziers, dragons and maidens – the characters of "101 Nights" possess a poetic immediacy and freshness that captivates at first glance. Rescued in 2010 by Claudia Ott from the collections of the Aga Khan Museum, the Andalusian manuscript from 1234 is now being made accessible to the public for the first time, expertly translated, carefully edited, and bibliophilically refined: featuring a velvety cover, gold foil embossing, and decorative color printing.
