New Arabian Nights

Über New Arabian Nights

Magic and mayhem collide on the foggy streets of 19th century London in Robert Louis Stevenson's wildly entertaining stories "The Suicide Club" and "The Rajah's Diamond." Serialized when originally released, these two cleverly linked tales recount the thrilling adventures of Prince Florizel of Bohemia and his sidekick Colonel Geraldine. Disguised as common London gentlemen, this noble duo forays into secretive societies and seedy criminal underbellies in pursuit of excitement, romance and heroics. Stevenson's signature wit and inventiveness breathes new life into the Arabian Nights storytelling tradition through his gaslit romantic capers. In "The Suicide Club," Florizel infiltrates the bizarre club of the title, whose macabre membership commits ritualistic murder. In "The Rajah's Diamond," Florizel pursues the jewel thief Catherine Bedford and becomes entangled in a dangerous game of deception. Blending humor, suspense and offbeat characters reminiscent of his classic "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde," Stevenson reinvented Arabian fantasy fiction for the Victorian era in his episodic page-turner, New Arabian Nights. Newly designed and typeset, printed on archival-quality, acid-free paper
