The story of this dashing mariner and his marvelous adventures is one of the many tales included in 1,001 Nights, also known as The Arabian Nights. Readers will learn the story of Sinbad's seven voyages and be intrigued by the wonders, from massive birds called rocs to a city terrorized by apes, that he encountered on them. The volume presents a wealth of interesting background information on this timeless tale. It is also filled with dozens of full color, highly dramatic, luminous illustrations that provide a modern-take on the classic illustration tradition of N.C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle, and Maxfield Parrish.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
This book retells the story of Sinbad the Sailor and recounts tales of the voyages on which he acquired his wealth, of the strange peoples and monsters he encountered along the way and of lands beyond the horizon. It places the fiction of Sinbad, popularised in the collection of stories known as the Arabian Nights, into the context of medieval Cairo where these tales were originally told. By retracing the history of these stories and the Arabian voyages of exploration and trade which inspired them, and by examining modern incarnations of Sinbad that have appeared since his stories reached the West, this book breathes new life into these ancient tales of adventure, magic and mystery.
