‘1001 Nights, of Persian origins’

Where Are Thousand Legends? will be unveiled during a ceremony at the Iranian Artists Forum where a number of scholars such as Mohammad Rezai-Rad and Hamid Amjad will deliver speeches about the book.

In his new book, Beizai has tried to prove that The Thousand and One Nights, known as an Arab collection stories, is rooted in Persian history, ILNA reported.

The Thousand and One Nights collection is of uncertain date and authorship whose tales of Aladdin, Ali Baba, and Sindbad the Sailor have become part of the popular Western folklore.

Published by Roshangaran and Women Studies Publications, Where Are Thousand Legends? is the result of Beizai’s extensive studies of historical texts.

Bahram Beizai is considered one of the most prominent Iranian filmmakers who has won numerous national and international awards.

He made his first short film in 1962 and his first feature-length production Downpour in 1971.

When We Are All Asleep, Bashu, the Little Stranger and Death of Yazdgerd Are among his better-known works.
