Damascus Nights

Salim the coachman tells enchanting tales, but suddenly he is struck dumb. Just as Scheherazade told tales to save her life, Salim's friends must spin yarns to save his speech. Set in Damascus in 1959, the novel alternates the real lives of our storytellers with stories from the distant past.

Salim, vizitiul, spune povesti fermecatoare, dar dintr-o data amuteste. Asa cum Seherezada spunea povesti pentru a-si salva viata, prietenii lui Salim trebuie sa teasa povesti pentru a-i salva graiul.
