Abu Hassan is a short story written by Washington Irving. It is set in the city of Baghdad during the Abbasid Caliphate. The story follows the life of Abu Hassan, a poor but ambitious man who dreams of becoming wealthy and powerful. He devises a plan to trick the Caliph into believing he is dead, so that he can take over his position and marry his beautiful daughter. However, his plan goes awry when the Caliph discovers the truth and punishes Abu Hassan for his deceit. The story is a humorous satire on the greed and ambition of human nature, and the consequences that come with it. It is a classic work of American literature and a must-read for fans of Irving's writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
