O Šeherzadinim čarima – Analiza okvirne priče Hiljadu i jedne noći
A word about Shaharzad (An analysis of the frame story of A thousand nights and a night)

Summary/Abstract: Critics have been writing a lot about Arabian Nights (A Thousand Nights and a Night) but they have not paid proper attention to its frame story. However, the frame story of Arabian Nights is a very interesting text because it underlines the main protagonist Shaharzad and her appealing features. Formally, Arabian Nights follow a scheme of arabesque which is a unique poetic principle of Arabic literature. A careful analysis shows how the woman is represented in Arabian Nights, how various are the paths of knowledge and wisdom, and finally, how the word is considered to be canonical in the Arabic and Islamic cultural circle.
