'While her younger sister was gifted in telling tales, Scheherazade couldn't tell a story to save her life...' Scheherazade and the Amber Necklace is a bold reimagining of the classic Tales of the Arabian Nights, with flying carpets, despotic rulers, secret assassins, and powerful djinns. When her sister is forced to marry the king, and her father imprisoned, Scheherazade must make a desperate journey to the Zagros Mountains to find a story that might save all their lives.

Throughout my childhood, my grandmother Yasmina, who was illiterate and grew up in a harem, repeated that to travel is the best way to learn and to empower yourself. "When a woman decides to use her wings, she takes big risks," she would tell me, but she was convinced that if you didn't use them, it hurt.... So recalls Fatema Mernissi at the outset of her mesmerizing new book. Of all the lessons she learned from her grandmother -- whose home was, after all, a type of prison -- the most central was that the opportunity to cross boundaries was a sacred privilege. Indeed, in journeys both physical and mental, Mernissi has spent virtually all of her life traveling -- determined to "use her wings" and to renounce her gender's alleged legacy of powerlessness. Bursting with the vitality of Mernissi's personality and of her rich heritage, Scheherazade Goes West reveals the author's unique experiences as a liberated, independent Moroccan woman faced with the peculiarities and unexpected encroachments of Western culture. Her often surprising discoveries about the conditions of and attitudes toward women around the world -- and the exquisitely embroidered amalgam of clear-eyed autobiography and dazzling meta-fiction by which she relates those assorted discoveries -- add up to a deliciously wry, engagingly cosmopolitan, and deeply penetrating narrative. In her previous bestselling works, Mernissi -- widely recognized as the world's greatest living Koranic scholar and Islamic sociologist -- has shed unprecedented light on the lives of women in the Middle East. Now, as a writer and scholarly veteran of the high-wire act of straddling disparate societies, she trains her eyes on the female culture of the West. For her book's inspired central metaphor, Mernissi turns to the ancient Islamic tradition of oral storytelling, illuminating her grandmother's feminized, subversive, and highly erotic take on Scheherazade's wife-preserving tales from The Arabian Nights -- and then ingeniously applying them to her own lyrically embellished personal narrative. Interwoven with vivid ruminations on her childhood, her education, and her various international travels are the author's piquant musings on a range of deeply embedded societal conditions that add up, Mernissi argues, to a veritable "Western harem." A provocative and lively challenge to the common assumption that women have it so much better in the West than anywhere else in the world, Mernissi's book is an entrancing and timely look at the way we live here and now. By inspiring us to reconsider even the most commonplace aspects of our culture with fresh eyes and a healthy dose of suspicion, Scheherazade Goes West offers an invigorating, candid, and entertaining new perspective on the themes and ideas to which Betty Friedan first turned us on nearly forty years ago.

A treasury of dazzling delight, The Secrets of Scheherazade transports the reader on a journey through a realm inspired by A Thousand and One Nights. Assembled as a collection to be auctioned along with certain objects, the stories contained within have magical powers... At The Scheherazade Foundation, we believe that folklore and storytelling hold an unrivalled value within society. A repository compiled over millennia, folktales reflect every facet of the human experience, making us who we are. An ultimate bridge between cultures, stories have the ability to divert the mind, so that an essence of real value can be passed on. This collection includes an array of fabulous tales, such as 'The Wondrous Seed', 'The Happiest Man in the World', 'The Berber Queen and the Necklace of Fortune', and 'Only the Painting Knows the Whole Story'. The more we tell and retell folktales, the more they seep into our subconscious, becoming part of us. With each telling, their magic is passed on - enabling us to tap into an ancient matrix of ideas, solutions, and information.

The Amber Necklace is a story based on the final Christmas of a woman who had mastered the French language; attended symphonies and operas; stitched her own draperies; sculpted and fired figurines of foxes and raccoons; made an elaborate German-themed doll; sewed her own traveling wardrobe; painted flowers on her bedroom wall; sketched and wrote verses for her own Christmas cards; cooked for dinner parties; and loved to dig in the dirt in the early spring. Totally alive and infectiously passing on that enthusiasm to everyone she met, Claire was truly a remarkable woman whose recipes for Russian tea and Cheese Strata are used even today-not to mention her tips for enjoying an opera or properly pouring tea. In The Amber Necklace Claire exquisitely describes the natural process by which amber is formed, and, unknown to her, she paints a far greater picture of the golden amber in a person's live as that life becomes a finished product.
