About Les Mille et Un Jours

Les Mille et Un Jours, subtitled contes persans, is a short story collection with Middle Eastern settings published between the years 1710 and 1712 by the French orientalist François Pétis de la Croix, probably with unacknowledged help from Alain-René Lesage. Though the stories were for the most part adapted very freely from a 15th-century Turkish collection called Ferec baʿde şidde, in its structure it is modelled on Antoine Galland's Les Mille et Une Nuits, whose immense success it was intended to share. It has had a wide influence on European culture, not least through its retelling of the story of Turandot, which indirectly inspired Puccini's opera and many other works.
