Arabian Nights

Years ago we had our Arabian Week in a special Harem. This were very colorful event and we will repeat this tonight.

Because the idea of this event is again the Arabian Nights story of Thousand And One Night i will take a piece from this again. To start and take you with me in the colorful world of orient full of sensuality, sensual pleasures and beauty. Are you ready?

"When Scheherazade was introduced to the sultan, he was struck with her beauty and modest sensibility. Perceiving her in tears, he for a moment forgot his barbarous resolution, and endeavored to comfort her. The lovely sultaness, pleased to see she had made- an impression on his savage heart, seized that moment to request that her sister, Dinarzade, might be admitted to her next morning, an hour before day, to take her last farewell. The sultan readily complied ; and notice being sent to her sister accordingly, the charming Scheherazade suffered herself to be conducted to the fatal couch, and became the devoted bride to the cruel Schahriar."

This story marks the start of the journey through "A Thousand and One Nights", a framework story for many small tales from the Orient which Scheherazade told to Shahryār. The tales have their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Greek, Indian, Jewish, Persian and Turkish folklore and literature. Come with us into this world tonight.
