Synopsis
A. L. Grimm's Tales from the Eastern-Land is a collection of four stories: The Merchant of Balsora, The Two Talismans, The Adventures of Haschem, and The Three Trials. The stories are all unrelated and feature different central characters, however all are set in or near what is now Baghdad. The Merchant of Balsora is the tale of Jussuf, a celebrated shop owner and powerful member of the community. The Two Talismans is about a wealthy Sultan and his pursuit of power. The Adventures of Haschem relays the story of the return of a prodigal son, and a man taken prisoner for sins he did not commit. The Three Trials is the tale of a young shepherd named Jalaladin and the great challenges he faces in his life.
