Summary/Abstract: The stories about Islam and The Oriental world from The Arabian Nights are not the same as we know. The magnificent world that shows us the greatness of Islam cultures stopped being an important point of interest for the occidental peoples. The clash of civilization between these two cultures was too strong. In the beginning the European way of living was an important attraction for the Oriental people, who wanted a radical change of their archaic life. Unfortunately, after only one generation they changed their minds again and tried to turn back. At that time their minds were looking for something that they didn’t know if it would be better or wrong for their future.
