"Continuation of "A Thousand and One Nights"" (1788-1789 gt.) - the last work of Jacques Cazot (1719-1792), a French writer, mystic, Kabbalist and Martinist, who, as contemporaries believed, had the gift of foresight. In our country, he gained popularity thanks primarily to the famous Gothic novel "Devil in Love" (1772; in 1967 he appeared in the series "Literary Monuments" as part of the collection "Fantastic Tales"). The writer's serious enthusiasm for the mysterious East and the resounding success in Europe of the French translation of "A Thousand and One Nights" (1704-1711), made by Antoine Gallan (1646-1715), prompted Casot to create a continuation of the Gallan vault. Since then, both fabulous collections have been published together more than once.
