Right i’ve got the Arabian nights in Arabic but it’s only a selection of stories,so i was wondering how many stories or tales are in the original version,if someone could tell me how many,their names and where to get a copy of the original Arabian Nights with all the original stories in English or in Arabic and where to buy it.
My grandfather use to read the Arabian Night Stories when he was back in his home country. He had it in Urdu and he said there were 1000 stories. He might have forgotten and there were 1001 stories i’m not sure. I have no idea where to buy them. Maybe if they’re some places where they sell books in old areas of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India (all the places surrounding there). It’s best to look somewhere close to where it was published. Other than that search online like amazon or ebay. There should be some there. It’s most likely not found in a populated bookstore like Dymocks. It might be easier to ask the book store to order it for you and then you can pick it up. I do that when it comes to buying uncommon books.
Hope you find it.
I found a website and I think it might help:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stories_within_One_Thousand_and_One_Nights
I think it has been renamed to one thousand and one nights but all the stories should still be the same.
I know modern people in some religions or sects of certain religions don’t take their entire holy books as literal truth. An example would be some Christians not believing in the story of Noah as being completely true.
How do you decide which stories are to be taken literally and which should simply have some sort of moral meaning? If you don’t take the whole book as truth, how can you be sure of the validity of any of it? How do you know anything about your God?
Thank you.
This is why I’m a Catholic and you aren’t.
Because you want to be your own Pope…but that is how we got in this mess to begin with.
Just to show you how much you don’t know, I quote the Catholic Catechism and the 2000 year tradition that says all Scripture is both figurative AND literal.
=========
The senses of Scripture
115 According to an ancient tradition, one can distinguish between two senses of Scripture: the literal and the spiritual, the latter being subdivided into the allegorical, moral and anagogical senses. The profound concordance of the four senses guarantees all its richness to the living reading of Scripture in the Church.
116 The literal sense is the meaning conveyed by the words of Scripture and discovered by exegesis, following the rules of sound interpretation: "All other senses of Sacred Scripture are based on the literal."83
117 The spiritual sense. Thanks to the unity of God’s plan, not only the text of Scripture but also the realities and events about which it speaks can be signs.
1. The allegorical sense. We can acquire a more profound understanding of events by recognizing their significance in Christ; thus the crossing of the Red Sea is a sign or type of Christ’s victory and also of Christian Baptism.84
2. The moral sense. The events reported in Scripture ought to lead us to act justly. As St. Paul says, they were written "for our instruction".85
3. The anagogical sense (Greek: anagoge, "leading"). We can view realities and events in terms of their eternal significance, leading us toward our true homeland: thus the Church on earth is a sign of the heavenly Jerusalem.86
118 A medieval couplet summarizes the significance of the four senses:
The Letter speaks of deeds; Allegory to faith;
The Moral how to act; Anagogy our destiny.87
=============
AND THE RULES OF INTERPRETATION
To interpret Scripture correctly, the reader must be attentive to what the human authors truly wanted to affirm, and to what God wanted to reveal to us by their words.75
110 In order to discover the sacred authors’ intention, the reader must take into account the conditions of their time and culture, the literary genres in use at that time, and the modes of feeling, speaking and narrating then current. "For the fact is that truth is differently presented and expressed in the various types of historical writing, in prophetical and poetical texts, and in other forms of literary expression."76
111 But since Sacred Scripture is inspired, there is another and no less important principle of correct interpretation, without which Scripture would remain a dead letter. "Sacred Scripture must be read and interpreted in the light of the same Spirit by whom it was written."77
The Second Vatican Council indicates three criteria for interpreting Scripture in accordance with the Spirit who inspired it.78
112 1. Be especially attentive "to the content and unity of the whole Scripture". Different as the books which compose it may be, Scripture is a unity by reason of the unity of God’s plan, of which Christ Jesus is the center and heart, open since his Passover.79
The phrase "heart of Christ" can refer to Sacred Scripture, which makes known his heart, closed before the Passion, as the Scripture was obscure. But the Scripture has been opened since the Passion; since those who from then on have understood it, consider and discern in what way the prophecies must be interpreted.80
113 2. Read the Scripture within "the living Tradition of the whole Church". According to a saying of the Fathers, Sacred Scripture is written principally in the Church’s heart rather than in documents and records, for the Church carries in her Tradition the living memorial of God’s Word, and it is the Holy Spirit who gives her the spiritual interpretation of the Scripture (". . . according to the spiritual meaning which the Spirit grants to the Church"81).
114 3. Be attentive to the analogy of faith.82 By "analogy of faith" we mean the coherence of the truths of faith among themselves and within the whole plan of Revelation.
First off, I’m asking what are the stories of riches in New Mexico? How do all of them connect and impact history? I need to understand this a little better. Please help
Here are some links to Wikipedia articles on the stories the invading Spanish believed:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Dorado
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quivira_and_C%C3%ADbola
For more information on the subject (and since you may not be able to use Wikipedia articles if you are working on a class assignment), I recommend you talk (either via phone or in person) with a reference librarian at either your local public library (if you are not a college student) or your campus library (if you are a college student) to help you find good resources to help you complete your work.
In case you are not aware of it, most public and academic libraries in the USA have excellent (and expensive) electronic databases on all sorts of topics, with full-text journal articles and other resources. Generally, most of the databases are accessible from one’s home computer through the libraries’ web pages and a valid library card. A librarian can instruct you on how to best use the databases and conduct your research.
Also, most public libraries and college/univ. libraries in the US have an electronic question/answer service, often called Ask A Librarian, or some other form of IM which available as a link usually from the library home page. Using either method would get you your answer a lot faster.
Plus, if you are a college student, part of your tuition has helped pay for the expensive services and resources of the campus library. Most public libraries are funded by local and state taxes. You have paid for the services of libraries already. Use what you have paid for.
I need to read and record a chart for 5 different stories and record 5 literary terms found in each of them. Does anyone know any good stories at the top of their head. Thank you very much.
Any help is appreciated.
Some short stories are :
The most dangerous game by Richard Connell.
The tell tale heart by edgar allan poe
The birds by Daphne du Maurier
I want to know what kind of supernatural stories you would be interested in reading. I’m thinking about writing a story, and want to know what you as a reader would want to read about.
If I were you., I’d research. Pick a phenomenon or even a niche of the paranormal and look up books-both fiction and non about it. I usually get great story ideas with that.
Otherwise, what would I want to read about? Anything. Anything can be written well. Vampires and Zombies are both popular and fairly cliche’ these days, and have pretty much been exploted to the max. If you can come with a new twist, I’d be willing to read it. It’s really up to you, whats the most interesting supernatural subject (s) to you?
Are their any individuals, whom in whatever part of the world they live in or have been in, able to share stories of any random run ins they may have had with criminals from any well known "Organized Criminal Gangs" ? Yakuza stories preferably would be of interest to me, as seeing how im planning on visiting Japan next year. But other encounters individuals have had, and their experiences with them would be much appreciated too. Thanks and share, share , share ! Those stories.
I live in a neighborhood that was previously controlled by a prison gang known as La Eme or the Mexican Mafia. A few years ago the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), a Salvadoran gang started moving in to take over the drug sales here. The result has been gunshots, screaming, police helicopters and constant security concerns as these two gangs fight over this tiny little piece of L.A. Also tons of tagging on houses, cars, even trees. Not Yakuza, sorry, but certainly these two gangs present a far greater danger to the US than any Asian gang does.
You know, stories that stay with you for a while and stories that you have trouble forgetting about because they influenced you so much.
It doesn’t have to be a specific story. It could just be a particular theme of genre that really affects you in a good way.
Thank you.
stories which have a strong mental drama, where the main character is struggling between doing right or wrong, or something of that sort. and of course, any story which i strongly identify with influences me

LYRICS:
I found a line and then it grew
I found myself still thinking of you
I felt so empty and now I’m fine
But still it’s burning, when will you be mine?
[Chorus:]
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it’s time for change, don’t you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
(I think it’s time for us to walk away from here)
Stories in our lives, we keep them all inside [x2]
Look at me still in your mind
Our memories so intertwined
Well you broke through and found your way
And so did I no need to stay
The same old picture, tried and true
Been through there, let’s look for something new
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it’s time for change, don’t you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
(I think it’s time for us to walk away from here)
[Chorus]
Do you remember lying on the beach so late at night
Do you remember running through the sprinklers that night
Do you remember all the songs that I have wrote for you,
All the songs that I have wrote for you
(For you)
I remember,the way you made me feel when I was with you
I remember,the smile that always brought me back to you
That look in your eyes, I never thought that this could be untrue [x2]
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it’s time for change, don’t you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
(I think it’s time for us to walk away from here)
(Untrue
Do do da da
do do da da
do do da da
do do da da
do yeah yeah yeah)
