New Arabian Nights

About this book

Robert Louis Stevenson’s New Arabian Nights recasts the spirit of Scheherazade into a sparkling sequence of linked tales that mix adventure, wit, and a touch of menace. From seaside capers and courtroom dramas to shadowy encounters in distant Mediterranean ports, each story bristles with vivid characters, nimble dialogue, and surprising turns that privilege atmosphere and cunning over spectacle. Elegant, slyly observant, and timelessly entertaining, these compact fictions showcase Stevenson’s narrative dexterity—ideal for readers who relish clever plots, sharp psychological insight, and stories that linger long after the last line.
