# Zarah the Cruel

An audiobook by Joan Conquest, read by LibriVox volunteers (10 h 54 min, English).

As told to a group of Bedouins as they sit around the fire, this tale , set in the Arabian desert, tells of a Holy Man accused of murder, and forced to flee and lead a nomadic life until he can prove his innocence. Some listeners may be offended by the ideas presented in this text. This is a reflection of the thinking at the time it was written. It is Librivox policy to not censor works.( Lynne Thompson)
