Summary "The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night — Volume 10" by Richard F. Burton is a collection of classic Arabian folktales and stories, likely composed during the late 19th century. This volume continues the enchanting tales woven by the legendary storyteller Shahrazad, with a focus on the adventures of a character named Ma’aruf, a cobbler living in Cairo, and his tumultuous relationship with his wife Fatimah. The book blends elements of humor, moral lessons, and supernatural elements, making it a fascinating read for fans of myths and legends. The opening of this volume introduces readers to Ma’aruf, a cobbler burdened by his ungrateful and intimidating wife, Fatimah, who puts him in a terrible bind over his inability to provide her with a vermicelli-cake. Ma’aruf's struggles with Fatimah are set against the backdrop of Cairo's vibrant life. He seeks to appease her with a cake but must first confront his dire financial situation. As he navigates the challenges posed by his wife, fate intervenes when he encounters an Ifrit who offers him a chance to escape his troubles by taking him to a distant land. This prelude establishes a gripping narrative that promises adventure, magic, and a exploration of fate and human resilience, capturing the essence of the tales to come.
