Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"New Arabian Nights" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a collection of short stories first published in 1882. This pioneering work in English-language short fiction features tales set in modern Europe but styled after the nested structure of "One Thousand and One Nights." The collection includes two story cycles—"The Suicide Club" and "The Rajah's Diamond"—following Prince Florizel of Bohemia wandering through London in disguise, plus four standalone tales. Some critics consider these among Stevenson's finest achievements.
