| Summary | "Tales from the Arabic — Volume 03" by John Payne is a collection of tales derived from the classic "One Thousand and One Nights," likely compiled in the late 19th century. This volume includes diverse stories exploring themes of love, adventure, and moral lessons, featuring protagonists such as the charming Noureddin Ali and the captivating Sitt El Milah, among others, as they navigate their intertwining destinies in the enchanting backdrop of ancient Arab cities. The opening of the volume introduces the lavish life of a wealthy merchant from Damascus, Aboulhusn, and the joy that unfolds when he is finally blessed with a son, Noureddin Ali, who grows into an exceptionally handsome young man. Driven by a yearning for adventure, Noureddin persuades his father to allow him to travel to Baghdad, where his journey brings him not only the pleasures of discovery but also a romantic entanglement with Sitt El Milah, a slave-girl famed for her beauty. This portion sets the stage for their love story, filled with challenges, societal intrigue, and fate's twists, as both characters face the trials that love and destiny demand.
