Bajo el título "La mil y una noches" se han recogido los mejores cuentos del a tradición árabe, persa y asiática. En este álbum ilustrado ofrecemos una selección de cuentos que Sherezade narraba a su marido Xariar. Éste, que odiava a las mujeres, no podía castigar a la suya la mañana siguiente porque ella, inteligentemente, le contaba cuentos que dejaba con el final abierto. Xariar, deseoso de saber cómo acababa el cuento, no se daba cuenta que aplazaba la muerte de su mujer noche tras noche.

The Arabian Nights

Shahrazade saves herself from execution by distracting King Shahriyar with stories.

Forced to take shelter when their Syrian city is plagued with bombings, young Nour and her cousin begin to bravely build a secret underground library. Based on the author's own life experience and inspired by a true story, Nour's Secret Library is about the power of books to heal, transport and create safe spaces during difficult times. Illustrations by Romanian artist Vali Mintzi superimpose the colorful world the children construct over black-and-white charcoal depictions of the battered city.
