Thalaba: The Destroyer is a narrative poem written by Robert Southey and published in 1860. The story follows Thalaba, a young Arab who sets out on a quest to avenge his family's death by the hands of a sorcerer named Oneiza. Thalaba is guided by a spirit named Mohareb and aided by a beautiful princess named Oneiza, who is also seeking revenge against the sorcerer. Throughout his journey, Thalaba faces many obstacles and battles various supernatural creatures, including demons, genies, and evil spirits. He also encounters a wise old man who teaches him the ways of magic and helps him to defeat his enemies. Thalaba's quest ultimately leads him to Oneiza's fortress, where he engages in a final battle with the sorcerer. The poem ends with Thalaba achieving his revenge and restoring peace to his land. The poem is known for its vivid descriptions of Arabian landscapes and its incorporation of Islamic mythology and culture. It is also considered to be a significant work in the Romantic literary movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
