Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child of the Orient On the morning of my fifth birthday, just as I awoke from sleep, my great-uncle came into my room, and, standing over my bed, said with a seriousness little befitting my age: - "To-day, despoinis, you are five years old. I wish you many happy returns of the day." He drew up a chair, and sat down by my bed. Carefully unfolding a piece of paper, he brought forth a small Greek flag. "Do you know what this is?" I nodded. "Do you know what it stands for?" Before I could think of an adequate reply, he leaned toward me and said earnestly, his fiery black eyes holding mine: - "It stands for the highest civilization the world has ever known. It stands for Greece, who has taught the world. Take it and make your prayers by it." I accepted it, and caressed it. Its silky texture pleased my touch.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lost Countess Falka: A Story of the Orient "Fideles Wien!" sighed Colonel Soltykoff of the Paul Regiment. "When shall I see you again?" He turned, heavy-hearted, to rejoin his friend Fraser Denton, who was gazing spellbound from the entrance of the foyer, at the opera box they had just quitted. It was a Lohengrin night, and the perfumed air trembled still with the delicious vibrations of the "Schwannenlied." "All that's best of dark and bright!" murmured Denton, as the handsome Russian paused for a moment at his side. "She is certainly the handsomest woman in Europe!" cried the tall Muscovite, his fingers, gemmed with turquoise luck rings, tugging at his tawny mustache. "Which one. Serge? Mother or daughter?" replied Denton, witii a backward glance at the box where, that golden young beauty, Countess Ilma Falka, shone out beside the peerless Grafin Magda.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jewels From the Orient In such an atmosphere the girls of that school were interested to learn of Morrison and Carey and Judson and other Christian leaders, pioneers of foreign missions. It was not strange that many of the young women of that school, after graduation, were ready for foreign service, wherever there were open doors. Neither was it strange that in later years I should plan a world tour of missions, and look in upon schoolmates and relatives who were at work in Japan, China, Burma and India.

Download or read book The Obvious Orient Classic Reprint written by Albert Bushnell Hart and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Obvious Orient The world abounds in sketchy books upon the East, and the title chosen for this volume is the writer's admission that no one can learn all that there is in the most ancient and inscrutable of the continents in an eight months' experience. On the other hand, the Orient is so unlike the western world that it still has the stimulating effect of novelty and variety. It is astonishing how the books that one reads beforehand on the East fail to include the things which instantly come before the eyes the moment one lands in Asia; even the hasty traveller's record, therefore, adds something to the knowledge of the bewildering and picturesque detail of Oriental life. For this study of the East I have had some advantages in the way of previous investigation and reflection, and the friendship of former students and others now settled in the Orient. Americans in that part of the world never lose their nationality, and the travelling American finds himself welcomed to a partnership in their experiences.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civilization: Tales of the Orient HE came out to Shanghai a generation ago, in those days when Shanghai was not as re spectable as it is now - whatever that says to you. It was, of course, a great change from Home, and its crude pleasures and crude com panions gave him somewhat of a shock. For he was of decent stock, with a certain sense of the fitness of things, and the beach-combers, adventurers, rough traders and general riff rafi' of the China Coast, gathered in Shanghai, did not offer him the society he desired. He was often obliged to associate with them, how ever, more or less, in a business way, for his humble position as minor clerk in a big cor poration entailed certain responsibilities out of hours, and this responsibility he could not shirk, for fear of losing his position. Thus, by these acts of civility, more or less enforced, he was often led into a loose sort of intimacy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Amulet: A Tale of the OrientTwo thousand years ago there lived in the city Of Babylon a wise man, known in those days as an astrologer. Men of his profession were reverenced for their learning, and their sage counsels were fol lowed alike by kings and people. Their prophecies were indeed fulfilled in a wonderful manner, although the materialist Of today would scoff and sneer at such credulity.But there is a wisdom even beyond that of the most advanced scientist. This wisdom is the direct result of the teaching of the higher powers, but has been lost to the world for many centuries, owing to the increasing materialism of the race. Man has gradually discarded the teachings of his ancestors of the dim past, who, however, held the truth as we do not hold it today. The western world has wandered far from it, and in their egotism allude to the early wisdom as superstition.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Orient Express There are some things here set out, then, of which it has been a small sacrifice to write, even though many of them have been told before. Most of them were witnessed in the service of The Times in Persia and in Turkey, and a special acknowledgment must be made to my editor for his kind permission to make use of many articles contributed to its columns. For a similar courtesy I have to thank the editors of The Contemporary Review and The Edinburgh Review. The editors of The Daily Chronicle and The Manchester Guardian have also kindly allowed me to use some articles of an earlier date, written in Macedonia.
