Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Thousand and One Quarters of an Hour: Tartarian Tales These very lively, ingenious, and entertaining imitations of the "Arabian Nights" are confessedly the work of Thomas Simon Gueulette. He was born at Paris in 1683, and held the office of substitute of the royal procurator at the Chatelet. Possessed of a very fertile imagination, he produced a great number of works of amusement. In the style of the fairy tales, he made his debut with Les Soirées Bretonnes, or the Evenings of Brittany, which appeared in 1712, and on which Voltaire founded his celebrated Zadig. In the year 1723 he produced the Thousand and One Quarters of an Hour, or the Tartarian Tales; which were followed in the same year by the Chinese Tales, or the Marvellous Adventures of the Mandarin Fum-Hoam, and by the Sultanas of Guzarat, or the Dreams of Men Awake, generally known under the name of the Mogul Tales. He imitated the tales of Count Hamilton, and, though his style is less brilliant, and his incidents have less of what the French call bizarrerie, the numerous stories which he has produced abound in interesting situations, and are, in general, true pictures of what they are intended to represent.
