Book Introduction
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a kingdom of Sassanid on an island in ancient Arabia, with a king named Shanua. One day, Shannuya and his brother Saman arrived at a grassland adjacent to the sea. While they were resting under a tree, suddenly a black water column rose from the middle of the sea. A girl came to them and told them that all women in the world were untrustworthy and untrustworthy.
After King Shanua and his brother Saman returned to the Kingdom of Sassanid, they discovered the queen's misconduct and killed her. From then on, Shannuya deeply despised women and killed palace maids. He sought revenge and began to marry a woman every day for one night, then killed and remarried the next day, completely becoming a tyrant. Year after year, for three years, more than a thousand women were killed.
The eldest daughter of the prime minister, Shanruzade, told her father that she wanted to marry the king and try to save millions of women. After entering the palace, Shanruzade told the king a story every night, but she only told the beginning and middle, not the end. The king postponed the date of killing Shahruzad day after day in order to hear the end of the story. So, every day, Shanruzade told a story that was endless, one more exciting than the other, until the 1000th night, when she finally moved the king. Shannuya said, "In the name of Allah, I swear not to kill you anymore. Your stories have moved me. I will record these stories and preserve them forever." Thus, the book "One Thousand and One Nights" was created.
