Excerpt from The Romance of the Harem, Vol. 2 of 3 "Ne oldou - what has happened?" demanded Saifula Pasha, as his chibouque-bashi handed to him his fourth pipe, while the Cadi of the town was devoutly kissing the hem of his robe; "If my head were as large as the mountain of El Caf, which surrounds the habitable globe, it would scarcely suffice for all its duties; and if my arm were long enough to reach from Stam-boul to Scanderia, it would still be too short to grasp all that it is required to hold.

Book Description

Excerpt from The Romance of the Harem, Vol. 1 of 2 Tan flattering success of my late work on Turkey has induced me to ofi'er to the public the present collection of Oriental Fictims; which are genuine tales related by the professional Mmald he or story-tellers of the East, in the harems of the wealthy Tur dur ing seasons of festivity, and particularly in that of the Ramazan. In the selection which I have made, I have, throughout the whole work, 'carefully avoided the supernatural, save in one solita? In stance, where the allegory was so talented and tempting that felt it would require no apol with any class of readers; preferring, in every other case, a life rlre and probable chain of circumstances. To a brilliant and impossible picture. Hence my fictions neither borrow power from the Genii, terror from the Ghouls, nor grace and beauty rom the Peris; they treat only of ordinary men and we men; but individuals placed in positions, and actuated by feelings, almost unknown in Europe.

Book Description

Excerpt from The Convent and the Harem, Vol. 1 of 3 Everything that tends to throw light upon these, the component parts of what we call our nature, may, if properly directed, be ren dered useful; by teaching us what, and how, to cultivate and/encourage - what, and how, to modify or eradicate. Without going so far as those who pretend to pronounce upon the character of an individual from his hand writing, I believe few dissent from the opi nion that some idea may be formed of the character of a nation from its language. In saying some idea, however, I would be under stood literally; for if due weight be not given to the exceptions, the circumstances, the changes, the comparative degrees of such or such quali ties or peculiarities, this theory would lead us it has led, to the grossest prejudice, ignorance, and injustice.

Romance of a Harem (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Romance of a Harem For many a long year I lived in a harem, and of that time I have the sweetest remembrances. Comparisons that I have been able to make since the chances of fortune led me to share the life of European women, only strengthen the tender melancholy of those souvenirs. The natural sentiments of women - affection, devotion, and the decency of life - become strongly developed in the warm and favourable atmosphere of a harem.
