The Arabian Nights - The 28th Night (E - Explicit)
Manage episode 347581343 series 3268712
The 28th Night - Part One of The Tale of the Porter and the 3 Ladies - In which we hear the start of a much longer tale involving these 4 protagonists and later further characters who are added to the cast as the tales take on an even more mysterious quality. As indicated above, there are references to both male and female private parts and use of coarser language in describing them. It is fascinating to hear this in a 14th century manuscript, but no more surprising than many references made in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, which was written even earlier.
