Sinbad the Sailor has experienced incredible things in Persia over 1000 years ago. But he is a modern man: mobile, risk-taking, profit-oriented. He only stands up for himself. He is only responsible for himself. Yet he is wise, yes, cautious, adaptable, and sometimes, when the situation demands it, even bold. Never reckless. The exciting adventures he encounters and endures on his journeys, which he later recounts, are unexpected and fabulous, but also harsh and cruel. And as it should be, this sailor ultimately takes responsibility for his namesake, Sinbad the Burden Bearer, through the storms of life. Alexander Gruber tells the story in a fairy-tale-like and clear manner: for shared experience.
