«Sindbad le marin» is the tale from «One Thousand and One Nights» in Antoine Galland's version, published by Librio in paperback (88 pages, in French).
The sailor Sindbad travels stormy seas and distant lands, encountering prodigious creatures, strange peoples, and dangers that sometimes stalk him and sometimes offer help. His courage keeps him alive, but the true reward is the wisdom he gathers on each voyage.
This edition belongs to Librio's «Imaginaire» collection and reproduces the complete text of the tale.
Aimed at young readers and those wishing to approach a brief classic of Oriental literature.
Antoine Galland was a French orientalist and archaeologist, most famous as the first European translator of One Thousand and One Nights, which he called Les mille et une nuits. His version of the tales appeared in twelve volumes between 1704 and 1717 and exerted a significant influence on subsequent European literature and attitudes to the Islamic world. Jorge Luis Borges has suggested that Romanticism began when his translation was first read.
