{"product_id":"novas-lendas-orientais","title":"New Eastern Legends","description":"A master storyteller, Malba Tahan—the pseudonym of Professor Júlio César de Mello e Souza—surprises with each book with an inexhaustible source of plots and characters. The legends he creates, blending fantasy and morality, transport the reader on the magic carpet of imagination to enchanted settings, typical of the Arabian Nights. In New Oriental Legends, Malba Tahan sketches a portrait of Arab culture, using as examples fables that wander between China, Arabia, and Baghdad. There are fourteen tales filled with love, betrayal, villainy, and adventure. Each of the stories in New Oriental Legends begins with quotations, which could be from Pakistani folklore or from the Quran itself, the holy book of Islam. Not to mention the numerous passages from the Dhammapada, the most famous part of the Pali Buddhist canon, containing the Buddha's fundamental teachings, written in the form of aphorisms, and verses from the Song of Solomon, taken from the Bible. The introductory phrases function as a brief summary of the story to come, a moral pre-established for the events that follow. These tales and legends are some of the finest stories from the Arab world, bringing together wisdom, fantasy, and adventure, amid deserts, princesses, and sultans.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174974701820,"sku":"9788501063090","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/1ee09b8d2be4d2e1d23fdadc1d613220.jpg?v=1778325449","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/novas-lendas-orientais","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
