The night after the one thousand and one nights. The story of the book The one thousand and one nights is known all around the world as well as the so many stories that Xerezade had to tell Xariar, the sultana night after night to keep himself alive. But, what happened when Xariar the sultana decided to forgive Xerezade his life? What happened the night after the one thousand night? In a paradox way, it had to be the so considered father of the Arabic modern literature; Nagib Mahfuz, who gave us an answer to these questions and put an end to this classic. More than an end, it is a continuation; one of all the possible ones. Without giving up the classical style of The one thousand and one nights, Mafhuz introduces us into a fantastic story where men and women, rich and poor people, genies and human beings share the nights which followed the number 1000.
