The story goes that Scherazade, a beautiful and intelligent young woman, convinces her father, the vizier, to take her to the palace of the sultan to marry him, despite knowing that after her wedding night her fate would be death for decapitation. Betrayed by his first wife, the sultan had already taken revenge for his wife's infidelity by murdering countless girls in the kingdom. Despite her father's protests, the young woman decides to stop the cruel saga. But, before leaving the house, she tells her younger sister to go into the room, on the first night, where she will be with her husband and ask her, just before daybreak, to tell him the last of her tales wonderful. The story that Scherazade tells her little sister attracts the attention of the sultan, who decides to spare his life to continue following the narrative the following night. And so, spinning stories, weaving cycles of tales, the young woman goes through a thousand and one nights and stays alive, finally winning (although some versions are controversial) her husband's love.
