El libro de las mil noches y una noche; t. 6

In this lively installment of the classic Arabian nights, a series of charming animal fables unfolds, where birds, beasts and mystical creatures speak with the same wit and wonder that characterize the legendary storytelling tradition. The narratives blend gentle humor with subtle moral insight, inviting listeners into a world where a peacock's vibrant plumage and a humble goose's trembling feathers each carry a lesson. Though rooted in ancient folklore, the tales feel fresh, offering a soothing escape that celebrates curiosity, hospitality and the quiet magic of nature.

One of the stories follows a proud peacock and his devoted companion as they leave the familiar shoreline for a secluded island teeming with fragrant trees and crystal‑clear streams. Their tranquil exploration turns urgent when a frightened goose swoops down, trembling from a nightmarish encounter with the enigmatic Ibn‑Adan, a figure whispered to wield deceiving charm and dangerous power. The peacock and peahen welcome the bird, promising protection while the goose’s tale of fear and warning sets the stage for an unfolding adventure that tests courage and kindness.
