The 7th and Last Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor
In the 7th Voyage of Sinbad, the sailor, once again shipwrecked, finds himself in a great city, where the chief of the merchants weds Sinbad to his daughter, names him his heir, and conveniently dies.

The inhabitants of this city are transformed once a month into birds, and Sinbad has one of the bird-people carry him to the uppermost reaches of the sky, where he hears the angels glorifying God. Because of Sinbad’s reaction to this, fire comes down from heaven which nearly consumes the bird-men.

The bird-people are angry with Sinbad and set him down on a mountain-top. When he returns to the city, Sinbad learns from his wife that the bird-men are devils so Sinbad returns with her to Baghdad, where at last he resolves to live quietly in the enjoyment of his wealth, and to seek no more adventures.

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.
