| Summary | "Sindbad the Sailor & Other Stories from the Arabian Nights" by Anonymous is a collection of classic tales from the Arabian Nights, likely compiled during the late medieval period. The central character, Sindbad the Sailor, recounts his extraordinary voyages filled with fantastical adventures, mythical creatures, and perilous challenges, beginning from a wealthy merchant's life in Baghdad. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Sindbad the Sailor, who holds lavish feasts and entertains guests, often sharing anecdotes of his adventures at sea. The narrative commences with Sindbad recounting how he transitioned from a life of luxury to a journey of exploration after squandering his inheritance. The opening details his first voyage, where he mistakenly lands on the back of a giant fish, which he initially believes to be an island. From there, the story unfolds as he survives numerous dangers, including encounters with fantastical creatures and the overcoming of grave risks, before ultimately finding himself stranded on unfamiliar shores and embarking on a quest for survival and fortune.
