Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When you have all you could ever want, what's left to wish for?Vathek, the majestic and fierce ninth caliph of the Abassides, has the world at his feet, with pleasure palaces constructed solely to satisfy his every possible appetite. Both his anger and his intellect are legendary; possessed of an intense thirst for knowledge, he often invites scholars to converse with him, but imprisons those who cannot be persuaded via logic or bribes to his point of view. Nothing is beyond his grasp, until a hideous stranger sells him glowing swords with letters on them that cannot be translated even by experts--because the letters are ever changing as if by magic!Obsessed with obtaining the stranger's knowledge, Vathek undertakes a massive search of his kingdom. His journey becomes increasingly horrific as he ventures into the underworld, meeting demons and witches. Will love of Mohammed or country or a young woman he encounters be enough to turn him from his foolish quest? Or will the lust for power prove too strong to resist? "Originally published as An Arabian Tale, from an unpublished manuscript in 1786. This edition is based on the third edition, revised and corrected, published as Vathek in 1816 in England by W. Clarke, London." Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781492699743
