Description
 
Sinbad the Sailor (also spelled Sindbad; Persian: سندپاذ; Arabic السندباد البحري Al-Sindibaad Al-Bahri) is a story-cycle of ancient Middle Eastern origin. Sinbad is a Persian word  hinting at an Iranian origin - although the oldest texts of the cycle are in Arabic.

Sinbad, the hero of the stories is a sailor from Basrah, living during the Abbasid Caliphate. The stories themselves are based partly on real experiences of sailors around the Indian Ocean, partly on ancient poetry (including Homer's Odyssey and Vishnu Sarma's Panchatantra), and partly upon Indian and Persian collections of mirabilia.

They recount the fantastic adventures of Sinbad during his voyages throughout the seas east of Africa and south of Asia.

This edition was literally rendered from the Arabic into French by J.C. Mardrus, and then translated into modern English by E. Powys Mathers with an introduction by C.S. Forester and illustrations by Edward A. Wilson

CONDITION: Hard Cover with moderate wear and fading to book cover, pages within are clean and in good condition. 124 pages, 11 full page lithographic illustrations plus several other half page lithographs and line drawings. This edition specially published by Limited Editions Press 1949
