New Arabian Nights

New Arabian Nights by Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1882, is a collection of short stories previously published in magazines between 1877 and 1880. The collection contains Stevenson's first published fiction, and a few of the stories are considered by some critics to be his best work, as well as pioneering works in the English short story tradition.[1][2] New Arabian Nights is divided into two volumes. The first volume contains seven stories originally called Later-day Arabian Nights and published by London Magazine in serial format from June to October 1878. It is composed of two story groups, or cycles: "e;The Suicide Club"e; "e;The Rajah's Diamond"e; The second volume is a collection of four unconnected (standalone) stories that were previously published in magazines: "e;The Pavilion on the Links"e;, told in 9 mini-chapters "e;A Lodging for the Night"e; "e;The Sire De Maletroits Door"e; "e;Providence and the Guitar"e;
