This is turning out to be a VERY CREEPY book! 😳 A murder starts the book, but it really is the story of a man whose neighbor insists he and his wife are sexually abusing their own children when they‘re not!!

PaperbackPirate Creepy cover too! 😬 1mo
SqueakyChu @PaperbackPirate I know! 😂 1mo
SqueakyChu The writing in this book is terrific. It‘s by a German author, and my book is a copy that was translated into English. 1mo

Sitting outside while it's still possible without burning to a crisp. Putting together my "check list" for the upcoming month. Lots of books starting with L. I'm hoping the #ClassicLSFBC and the #LittensLoveRomance pick will start with an L too. ?

Many details in the Nights suggest that the tales as we have them are as much a product of Ottoman-era Cairo and Damascus as of Sassanid Persia or Abbasid Baghdad. Thus in "The Porter and the Three Ladies of Baghdad,' when a woman buys a lavish array of supplies for a feast, these include Turkish quinces, Hebron peaches, Damascus lilies, Aleppo raisins, and pastry from Cairo, Turkey, and the Balkans...

The reliefs carved on tomb walls are filled with evocations of earthly life, and their artists took pleasure in capturing a fleeting moment for all eternity. In a relief from the Fifth Dynasty, carved four and a half thousand years ago, a watchman and his guard baboon have caught a thief who is trying to steal some grain. Above the thief's head we see his plea to the guard: 'YAH! Smite your baboon! Get the baboon off me!'

And who knew they had guard baboons?
