• The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor Aug 17, 2025

  

  In the great city of Baghdad, during the golden age of the Abbasid Caliphate, there lived a young man named Sinbad, the son of a wealthy merchant. When his father died, leaving him a considerable inheritance, young Sinbad found himself torn between the comfortable life of a city merchant and an irresistible longing for adventure that seemed to call to him from beyond the horizon.

  “The world is vast,” Sinbad would say to himself as he gazed toward the river that led to distant seas, “and life is short. What stories might the winds and waves tell to one brave enough to listen?” Against the advice of his more cautious friends, Sinbad sold much of his inheritance, purchased goods suitable for trade, and set sail on his first voyage.
