The weather was serene but sultry; there had been a-tendency to storm for several days before, and heavy clouds stood in threatening attitudes with their white heads in the horizon. But nature was beautiful, and refreshed by a shower that had fallen in the night. My friend, the captain, lent me his horse, which I caparisoned and ornamented as well as I could on the occasion. I myself put on a new suit of clothes from head to foot, and with the addition of many silverstudded belts, cartouche-boxes, daggers, and other appendages fastened about me, and which had been lent me by a Georgian in the service of the Russians, I was told, and I believe it, thatl made a very handsome appearance. Accompanied by my male relations, the Russian captain, and as many of his men as could be spared in order to create a crowd, we proceeded to Geuklfi, and approaching it, marshalled ourselves in procession, preceded by music, songs, and shouts. We alighted at my bride's house, where we partook of refreshments, and received the congratulations of all the village; and then, when all was prepared for our return to Gavmishlfi, where my uncle was to perform the ceremony, we mounted again. My bride, covered by a crimson veil from head to_foot, which flowed. over a flat platter placed on her crown, was mounted on her father's steed, led on either side by her brothers. It is the custom for the bridegroom to hold a sash or girdle by his right hand, which is held at the other end by the bride on their way to the church, and this we did. All our friends, our relations, all the youth of the...

The Capitan Pasha, upon leaving the house, gave Zabetta assurances of his future protection; recommended her to take the greatest care of her daughter; told her that she should want for nothing; and, as an earnest of this, made her, upon stepping from the door, a handsome present in money. Ordering Cara Bey to follow him, and the night being far advanced, he returned incognito to his own palace. Zabetta could scarcely sleep, from delightful anticipations of the grandeur and worldly prosperity in store for her; whilst Ayesha, from apprehensions of that same fate, was equally unable to close her eyes. The former had no other visions before her than of rich dresses, gilded palaces, fine equipages, splendid boats, and never-ceasing pleasure; the latter could not divest herself of the horror of being subject to the power of some rude and barbarous master, in common with1 other unfortunate women; whilst her own lover, her fond and devoted Osmond, might be wasting away his existence in a prison, forgotten and despised. The succeeding day had not long appeared, when their attention was awakened by a knocking at the door. Zabetta looked out of the upper window, and, seeing several men in waiting, and among them a Frank, ordered the servant not to admit them before she had ascertained who they were. "Kim der?--Who is it?" said the old woman, as she stood with her hand on the latch, and with her ear towards the door. "Atch--open!" said a Turk. "Who are you?" repeated the old woman. "Atch--open!" again said the voice. By this time, Zabetta, having thrown her veil over her head, had come to the assistance of the servant, and...

Excerpt from The MirzaThe Persians have aptly been called the Frenchmen of the East; vanity is, in truth, their besetting sin, and that circumstance alone may, perhaps, account for the lust for compliment and adulation which exists in both nations.

Excerpt from Zohrab, the HostageIn this book, I confess that the quantum of history is very small indeed in proportion to the fiction. It may be compared to the small canal by means of which water is made to meander through a cultivated field in the East, fertilizing the tract through which it passes, but without which it would be barren and without value....

Excerpt from A Journey Through Persia, Armenia, and Asia Minor, to Constantinople, in the Years 1808 and 1809: In Which Is Included, Some Account of the Proceedings of His Majesty's Mission, Under Sir Harford Jones, Bart, K. C., To the Court of the King of Persia. Amasia, is the result of my own observation, corrected by the same masterly hand. It terminates at Amasia, because my journey from that place to Constantinople was performed as much by night as it was by day, and prosecuted with too great speed to permit me to observe with accuracy. Besides which, in Turkey, where the people are much more jealous and watchful of travellers than in Persia, I found that I could not make my remarks so much at my casc as I wished, although assisted by the of a Persian dress. The courses and distances, noted in the journal, are only to be regarded as a kind of dead reckoning, subject to correction by the application of latitudes in certain places, and of approximated positions in others.

Nineteenth Century Collections European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes the full-text of more than 9,500 English, French and German titles. The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s. The Corvey Collection comprises one of the most important collections of Romantic era writing in existence anywhere -- including fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry, and more -- with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers. The Corvey library was built during the last half of the 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both bibliophiles with varied interests. The collection thus contains everything from novels and short stories to belles lettres and more populist works, and includes many exceedingly rare works not available in any other collection from the period. These invaluable, sometimes previously unknown works are of particular interest to scholars and researchers. European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection * Novels and Gothic Novels* Short Stories* Belles-Lettres* Short Prose Forms* Dramatic Works* Poetry* Anthologies* And more Selected with the guidance of an international team of expert advisors, these primary sources are invaluable for a wide range of academic disciplines and areas of study, providing never before possible research opportunities for one of the most studied historical periods.

Full of rip-roaring exploits, witty satire, and nimble humor, this classic work of fiction my British diplomat James Morier was first published in 1824 and soon became known as a classic to be compared with the Arabian Nights. It launches readers along the rags-to-riches escapades of Hajji Baba, the lazy son of a barber, as he seeks his fortune ... but only if it doesn't demand too much work of him. Hajji Baba of Ispahan appealed to Cyrus Leroy Baldridge as exquisitely appropriate for his highly colorful illustrations. At Baghdad, he set off with his wife to retrace the journeys of Hajji Baba himself, and after a series of fantastic adventures -- in one town a native told him calmly "the last man who sketched here, we stoned to death" -- brought home the 24 illustrations that appear in this coloring book.
