In this episode we look at the beginning of the Thousand and One Nights with Night I and Night II with the story of the Merchant and the Jinn. Note the role that the Jinn play in these tales and how the structure of the narrative is formed. We also look at the beginning of Night III with the opening of the Tale of the Fisherman which is one of the more commonly known tales. As you are listening, pay attention to the deeper layers and meaning of what these tales are trying to convey.
