The Pacha of Many Tales


Book Description

An anthology of stories in the tradition of Arabian Nights. The Pacha charges passersby a story for their travels. But there is a catch; if the story doesn't please the Pacha, the Pacha will take another price. You should hope you have a story to offer more engaging than a romance, or it may come at the cost of your head!




The Pacha of Many Tales (Annotated)


Book Description

The Pacha of the Many Tales is Marryat's contribution to the Arabian Nights' tradition. The Pacha of the title decides to imitate that great work by collecting tales, each of which is thoroughly inventive and preposterous, but highly entertaining. The Pacha's taste is definitely in favor of the fabulous and against romance (but there's plenty of romance in the tales, as beautiful women need rescuing from a variety of misfortunes), and each tale is quite amusing. They're told by a series of miscreants, rogues, liars, impostors, and rascals.
