Baghdad Thief

The famous Persian tale of the love between a noble beggar and a princess received a new breath in the 20th century under the pen of Ahmed Abdullah. In 1924, the writer and traveler of Russian descent, hiding under an "Eastern" pseudonym, worked in Hollywood on the legendary film "Baghdad Thief", after which he turned his script into an amazing novel. The film spawned dozens of remakes and imitations, among which is the famous Disney's "Aladdin". The edition also includes other works by Abdullah - an author who devoted his heart to exotic countries.
