Which title does Kafka read that is connected to a collection of folk tales?

• A. The Odyssey
• B. The Arabian Nights
• C. Moby-Dick
• D. One Hundred Years of Solitude

Answer: (B)

Identifying a collection of folk tales. The Arabian Nights is a famous anthology of traditional tales from the Middle East and South Asia, compiled over many centuries and framed by Scheherazade's nightly storytelling to a king. That framing and the wide variety of stories make it a true collection of folk tales, unlike The Odyssey (an ancient epic poem), Moby-Dick (a single novel about whaling), or One Hundred Years of Solitude (a multi-generational magical realist novel). This connection to a compilation of tales is why it’s the correct pick.
