The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherazade" is a short-story by American author Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849). It was published in the February 1845 issue of Godey's Lady's Book and was intended as a partly humorous sequel to the celebrated collection of Middle Eastern tales One Thousand and One Nights.The tale depicts the eighth and final voyage of Sinbad the Sailor, along with the various mysteries Sinbad and his crew encounter; the anomalies are then described as footnotes to the story. While the King is uncertain - except in the case of the elephants carrying the world on the back of the turtle - that these mysteries are real, they are actual modern events that occurred in various places during, or before, Poe's lifetime. The story ends with the king in such disgust at the outlandish tales Scheherazade has just woven, that he has her executed the next day. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

We all know the story of Scheherazade. She is meant to live happily ever after, after having completed her Thousand and One Tales, but Poe has found in the "Isitsoornot" that there was indeed a Thousand and Second Tale and her fate may not have been as happy as supposed.
What ensues is a rollicking good time while Scheherazade spins a tale of Sinbad's adventures that she failed to tell in her original narration. The story is a giant riddle, as every wonder described by Sinbad is true.
It is one of the lighter things I have ever read by Poe. Perspective is everything. ( )
