Overview

The tale depicts the eighth and final voyage of Sinbad the Sailor, along with the various mysteries Sinbad and his crew encounter; the anomalies are then described as footnotes to the story. While the King is uncertain - except in the case of "the earth being upheld by a cow of a blue color, having horns four hundred in number" - that these mysteries are real, they are actual modern events that occurred in various places during, or before, Poe's lifetime. The story ends with the king in such disgust at the outlandish tales Scheherazade has just woven, that he has her executed the next day.

Ve böylece emir verdi: Şehrazad idam edilsin. Ertesi gün kadın öldürüldü. Çünkü bu son anlattığı hikâye, gerçeklik sınırlarını öylesine zorluyordu ki, Şehriyar bile kaldıramadı.
