A collection of short stories called "One of Cleopatra's Nights and Other Fantastic Romances" was put together by French novelist Theophile Gautier. Six tales make up the collection, and each one takes the reader on an exciting and interesting journey. In the story with the same name, "One of Cleopatra's Nights," a young Frenchman visits Egypt and enters into a perilous dangerous with a mysterious and fascinating woman. The book contains the frightening stories "The Mummy's Foot," "The Venus of Ille," and "The Romance of the Mummy," which tell the story of a man's obsession with a body he discovers in a tomb. Gautier is well known for his vivid descriptions of otherworldly and exotic locales, and he often employs magical realism in his work. Another outstanding illustration of Gautier's approach is "One of Cleopatra's Nights and Other Fantastic Romances," the most famous book of French literature.
