Fortunio; One Of Cleopatra�������s Nights; King Candaules: The Works Of Theophile Gautier V8 (1907) is a collection of three short stories by the French author Theophile Gautier. The first story, Fortunio, is a tale of love and magic set in 16th century Venice. The second story, One of Cleopatra's Nights, is a sensual and exotic story set in ancient Egypt, where a young man falls in love with the queen herself. The third story, King Candaules, is a tragic tale of a king who becomes obsessed with showing off his beautiful wife to a stranger, leading to disastrous consequences. These three stories showcase Gautier's mastery of prose and his ability to transport readers to different times and places with vivid descriptions and engaging characters.
