The 18th of the Month Scheval, in the Year of the Hegira, 837. Thou Joy of ev'ry Eye! Thou Torment of every Heart! Thou Intellectual Light! I do not kiss the Dust of thy Feet; because thou seldom art seen out of the Seraglio, and when thou art, thou walkest only on the Carpets of Iran, or on Beds of Roses.

I have just finished it. It's a nice philosophical work inspired by Arabic/Persian stories. It even has a story inspired by the Quranic story of El-Khidr and the prophet Moses.
The story has serious flows ... anti-semitism + religious bigotry let alone the seriously problematic story of El-Khidr. I gave it 3 stars only because of the nice language. But for the story itself, I give it one star.
