«Sindbad le marin» is the tale from One Thousand and One Nights translated by Antoine Galland, published by Librio in paperback (69 pages, in French).
In these stories, Sindbad, a sailor from Baghdad, recounts the seven voyages in which he seeks fortune and encounters storms, fabulous animals, and extraordinary beings, some hostile and others hospitable. His courage and cunning allow him to return with riches, but the true treasure is the wisdom he gains in each adventure.
A tale from One Thousand and One Nights; the Librio edition offers Antoine Galland's translation in full text.
Intended for young readers and the classroom, within French literature programs.
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.
