“يقول عمر طاهر في هذا الكتاب: «أحب الأفلام الهندية القديمة لأن
المعجزات فيها هي القاعدة وليست الاستثناء تمامًا مثل حياتي، وأقدس
الحياة الزوجية إذ إنني لم أستدل على وجود حياة في أي مكان آخر،
لديَّ الكثير من المشاريع المؤجلة، لكنني أحلم أن أمتلك ثروة تجعل
هدفي الوحيد في الحياة أن أنفقها. لا أذهب إلى الجيم، لكنني أتدرب على الرضا كل يوم. قالت لي بائعة
النعناع يوم اشتريت منها بمبلغ أسعدها: «روح ربنا يرمي في حجرك»، اكتشفت أن هذه الدعوة ملخص
قصة حياتي، يلقي الله في حجري هدايا منذ وعيت، هناك هدايا سهلة وأخرى استلامها مرهون بخطة
وإجراءات، هناك واحدة يتطلب استلامها قدرًا من المغامرة، وأخرى مرهونة بتقديم تضحية ما».
مجموعة حكايات جديدة لافتة لأحد أفضل كتاب مصر المعاصرين.”

عندما يختلط الوهم بالحقيقة والحقيقة مع الخيال والخيال مع المرض تظهر لنا نتيجة لعالم من الغموض، عالم مجهول، بائس.. لا يفهم، وطلما حاولت فهمه لا يُمكنك الوصول لأي شيء.. في هذا المكان تقلب فيه الحقائق وتتحول.. لا يُمكنك أن تجزم بأن الخير يستطيع الانتصار، فلا تفكر هنا بهذا الشكل.. فهنا لا صوت يعلو فوق صوت الشر، في عالم أنت جزء من حكاياته.. حكايات العالم الثالث.

Jonathan Harker’s work trip to Romania should have been simple, but Castle Dracula is shrouded with mystery.

Jonathan is desperate to return to England, but first he must escape from the castle – and pray that Count Dracula doesn’t follow.

Frankenstein
Victor Frankenstein has an obsession: to discover how life is created. One fateful night,

a bolt of lightning brings his experiment to life. But Victor quickly decides that the eight-foot, yellow-skinned, dead-eyed being he has created is a monster. Victor has successfully created life, but now his creation has an obsession of its own – and death may be the only outcome for them both.

Gabriel Utterson has known Dr Jekyll for many years. Suddenly, the doctor begins acting strangely.

The Phantom of the Opera
Mr Poligny is retiring as manager of the Paris Opera House. Before he leaves, he tells his replacements how to please the phantom who has haunted the opera house for years.

Meanwhile, a singer is visited by the Angel of Music; a being who is neither angel nor ghost …

Basil Hallward’s latest portrait is the best he’s ever painted. But when the portrait’s subject, Dorian Gray, realises that he will never look as young and handsome again, he makes a terrible wish.

Ichabod refuses to be scared – until the terrifying Horseman appears and challenges him to a race he cannot win.

The Ghost Pirates
Jessop is sailing on the Mortzestus, a ship deemed by sailors to be cursed. He dismisses the stories as seafaring tales, but two weeks into the voyage strange things start happening.

The Fall of the House of Usher
Roderick Usher invites his childhood friend to his family home, the House of Usher. A bleak mansion of gloom standing lonely at the top of the hill.

A mysterious guest at the Coach and Horses Inn disrupts the village of Iping. The stranger is wrapped up from head to toe, his bandaged face hidden from sight. Is he the victim of an accident? A criminal on the run? No one in the village comes close to guessing what is really hidden behind the bandages.

tevenson published this collection of his early fiction in 1882, after the pieces had appeared in various magazines. The first half features two popular detective-story cycles, The Suicide Club and The Rajah's Diamonds, which deal with a macabre secret society and the intrigues and escapades involving exotic jewels. The second half brings together unrelated pieces, including the seminal 'The Pavilion on the Links' – described by Conan Doyle as the first short story in the world – which is set in a cottage surrounded by quicksand and tells the story of two old friends who become rivals for the affection of a woman.

An eclectic, entertaining compilation, New Arabian Nights represented a milestone in Stevenson's creative development and confirmed his reputation as one of the finest storytellers in the English language.
