This multicast dramatisation of Arabian Nights: Volume 1 is an Audible Original reenvisioning of three iconic tales - with a twist. Adapted by the great Marty Ross, whose previous audio dramas include Romeo and Jude, Dark Shadows, Doctor Who and Blood and Stone, listeners can expect to hear Sheherezade, Ali Baba & 40 Thieves and Julnar the Sea Born as they've never done before.

Just like the king, I too was enthralled in the stories being told. Brilliant, very brilliant!

The reading was a little too fast-paced for me with no real pauses or gaps. The tone made it difficult to find rhythm or meaning and read as a little flat. I'm sure others might have a very different experience, perhaps if they know the tone of these poems beforehand, but the reading could have used more feeling - more oomph. A little disappointing. Some music between poems or in the background would have been nice and added a beautiful immersion. I love Rumi, but I did not get past the first chapter unfortunately.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 25
In modern-day Persia, the 14th-century poet Hafiz remains the most treasured voice of his homeland - a place where his work outsells Rumi, and even the Koran. Yet only recently have Westerners come to know this wild Sufi mystic's astonishing verses on love and spiritual longing. Now, with Hafiz: The Scent of Light, you will join Daniel Ladinsky - the acclaimed translator of The Gift - to revel in more than 30 of Hafiz's most stirring works.

I loved the selection in thus audiobook and discovered a few that I have now fallen in love with. It's difficult to find audible poetry that I can relax into and this is perfect. The music gives you a full immersion and the pacing is very good. Thank you!
