Overview

Sinbad the sailor, after the exciting adventures of his first journey, soon grows restless of his life of leisure, and sets out to sea again, this time with the desire to travel about the world to understand and see men’s cities and islands.

He is accidentally abandoned by his shipmates, and finds himself stranded on an island which contains Roc eggs. One of the Rocs transports him to a valley of giant snakes which can swallow elephants, and a Roc which prey upon them. Diamonds carpet the valley, and merchants use the Rocs to harvest them. Sinbad decides to harvest some of the diamonds for himself but ends up trapped in a Roc’s nest. Eventually rescued, he returns home, but not without a few other adventures along the way.

About the Author

The oldest texts of the Sinbad stories are in Arabic, but this English version of Sinbad’s First Journey comes from Sir Richard Burton’s 1885 translation of Arabian Nights, and is assumed by the translator to be one of the tales Scheherazade told night after night in order to save her life from a homicidal king. Arab scholars today often leave out the stories of Sinbad, believing they originated earler than the Arabian Night’s tales.
