I fell asleep a couple times while I was listening. The narrator voice was so nice to listion to. But also,I had some very different dreams. I couldn't believe how many different shapes of the penis there were and each shape had a name . But the way the book discribed how a women should look to attract a Man is way different than now days. The short stories we're great also. I would recommend reading or ( lisenting) to this this book. I'm glad I did I enjoyed it.

Very poetic and perspective of the time. Fascinating as well historical

i read this as a cultural artifact, as much a Victorian cultural artifact (due to the time it was translated into English) as an Arabian one. Probably a good read if you are 16, Otherwise, it's pretty dated and the translation sounds a bit awkward, too. The narration is awful, which is characteristic of LibriVox narration.
