Hi everyone, and welcome to this podcast, coming to you from the Canary Islands and reaching listeners across the globe.
This series is a journey through literature without borders. In each episode, I dive into a book, an author, or a literary movement from different parts of the world. Because books are passports too, and every story carries us closer to new cultures, languages, and ways of seeing life.
Among the desert dunes and bustling bazaars, legends were born that still accompany us: stories of genies trapped in lamps, flying carpets, wise kings, and brave merchants. Perhaps the most famous example is "One Thousand and One Nights".
Legend has it that Scheherazade, to save her life, told a tale to the sultan every night, pausing at the most exciting moment. Thus, night after night, she managed to keep curiosity alive... and her very existence.
But beyond their charm, these tales reflect something profound: the power of wit, popular wisdom, and hope in the midst of destiny. They were also a way of preserving collective memory, transmitting lessons disguised as adventures.
And although centuries have passed, Arab stories continue to inspire contemporary films, books, and songs. They remind us that all peoples share the same narrative soul: the desire to imagine the impossible.
That’s the end of today’s episode. Thank you so much for joining me on this literary journey. Until next time, may the stories you read take you further than you ever imagined.
If you have any comments or suggestions for future episodes, I’d be delighted to hear from you.
