«Sindbad le marin» is the children's story by Antoine Galland, published in 2001 by V. Safrat in paperback (125 pages, in French).
The tale follows Sindbad, a sailor who, on his voyages across distant seas, faces dangers and comes across treasures and unknown lands. This children's version of the tale from One Thousand and One Nights brings the classic closer to young readers.
Intended for children and young readers who are starting out with the classic tales of One Thousand and One Nights.
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.
