Summary
The Voyages of Sindbad the Sailor contains the stories of seven voyages. All the stories, except the first and the
last one, begin with Sindbad getting bored with life in Baghdad and deciding to go on a voyage. In all the stories but the last one, Sindbad makes his way to the south
and the east from Basra, i.e. towards India, by trading goods. In all of the stories, something disastrous happens to end the voyage: either the ship is sunk or Sindbad is marooned on an island for some reason. In all the stories, the men he meets in adversity are kind to him and help him. In contrast, the half-men, giants and phantoms
he encounters, such as the Old Man of the Sea, always seek to kill or enslave him. Most important of all for the continuation of the book, all the stories end happily with Sindbad returning to Basra and Baghdad a rich man and able to help the poor like any good Muslim. Each time he vows never to set foot on a ship again ... until the next time!
