The Weird Orient: Nine Mystic Tales

The Weird Orient: Nine Mystic Tales is a collection of short stories by Henry Iliowizi, written in the late 19th century. Drawing from Eastern folklore, the tales explore mystical themes and moral lessons rooted in Oriental culture, influenced by the author's experiences in Tetuan, Morocco. The narratives, including 'The Doom of Al Zameri' and 'Sheddad’s Palace of Irem,' delve into supernatural and philosophical realms, reflecting the allure and mystery of the East. Iliowizi's background as a member of a mystical sect adds authenticity to these narratives, which capture the spiritual essence of the region.
