Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literature of Persia Now it is, I think, always desirable in the first instance to get a clear idea of the ground covered by a subject of which one proposes to treat. Modern, post-muhammadan, Persian literature - a literature covering a period Of about a thousand years - is what I propose to discuss this afternoon but I must Observe in passing that a comprehensive survey of the literature or literatures of Persia would include more than this. There are three older pre-muhammadan literatures well worthy of. Study which belong to Persia; and, though I shall not have time to discuss them to - day, I must at least mention them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Persia The rivers Of Persia are of little importance. It is possible to ride from north to south and from east to west, almost without crossing a river. Indeed from the Indus to the shatt-al-arab no important river reaches the sea. In the north the river, termed the Sufid Rud in its lower reaches, is the longest in Persia. In the south-west, the Karun is the only navigable river of Persia, and that for merely a short distance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Persia by a Persian: Personal Experiences, Manners, Customs, Habits, Religious and Social Life in Persia While out on lecture tours in this country, I have been asked many questions about the manners, customs, and peculiarities of my own people. These questions I have found it very difficult to answer in the little volume, Darkness and Daybreak, so as to give anything like a clear picture either of the people or the country in the brief time that I had to answer them under such circumstances, and, hence this book which I now present to the public, with the earnest hope that it may find a welcome.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Persia The uniformed natives of these countries, whose condi tion is much to be deplored, are not aware that the great Samuel Johnson has said, that Whatever raises the past, the distant, and the future, above the present, exalts us in the dignity of human beings which is an unanswerably' good reason for the preference given to mummies over every living object, however fascinating. The rage of the present day for mummies and other delectable reliques of antiquity has deluged Egypt with itinerant men of science and research, who have quite ex hansted that land of wonders and those who have lately visited it have been reduced, from actual want of other aliment, to the necessity of preying upon their predecessors, many of whom have been cruelly mangled, and some Wholly devoured.

Download or read book Across Persia Classic Reprint written by E. Crawshay Williams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Across Persia A man who loves this world of Nature and of men comes often to be possessed by a restless longing merely to study it, -to spend his time as a spectator of the great play of life only to live and see and learn and know and feel. And so to travel; to become a citizen of the world, and to have the freedom of its seas and forests and sandy deserts and seething streets; to spend life contemplating its manifold aspects and learning its countless secrets. It is irresistibly attractive, this Travel-hunger: yet it has a somewhat selfish end, in most cases. N 0 one save the traveller is a whit the better for a life of travel, if to travel be the only object. The artist loves his life-work, and the world is the richer for it; the poet, the musician, the author, the politician, all these at the same time satisfy their interests and benefit mankind; but the traveller, - with him the satisfaction of desire is barren of result except to one single individual in all this busy world. Cannot he, then, join his fellow-mortals in letting mankind find itself something the better for his pursuits? If he travels intelligently he certainly can, in two ways. He can apply the knowledge he has gained to the profit of his fellow-men, and he can describe his experiences for their amusement.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Persia and the Persians The use of i in the spelling of Oriental words where e, for those employing the English language, would more correctly represent the actual pronunciation, is an anomaly that can be accounted for only on the ground that the Latins preceded the anglo-saxons in the East, and with them i is always 6. But in retaining the Latin orthography we forget that t in the Continental languages never has the long i sound peculiar to the English tongue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of My Life in Persia When in the providence of God my duty had been made plain to me that I should retire from active service on the foreign field to spend the remainder of my days in the home land, I was glad that they said to me "Come and tell us of your life and work," hoping thus to do something for the cause. I soon found that it is very little that can be told in the short time given for a missionary address. So I felt impelled to write it out, and thus tell more fully of my experiences in Persia. My little book is not a history, nor is it a diary or a journal. It does not go into deep things, but is only a simple story of my missionary life, with greetings to my many friends whose love and prayers have been a help and blessing to me all the years. I have been guided in the selection of matter by questions that have been asked me, and what I have written is largely answers to such questions. I beg of my readers leniency in judgment, for my work is far from perfect; but imperfection marks all our labors here below. With the salutation of the East I greet you "Sala'am-alakum" Peace be unto you. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gulzar; Or the Rose-Bower: A Tale of Persia It was now that season of the year when all nature seemed ready to burst forth into joy and gladness. Win ter had fled, and the young buds were putting forth their tender leaves, the Earth was robing herself in her mantle of green, the song of the bulbul was heard among the young rose-leaves, the laugh of happiness came echoing along the clear breast of the river; but all brought not the smile of joy to the eye of the fading gulzar, nor the bloom of health to the cheek of the daughter of aga. The heart of the Shah grew sad as he witnessed the decline of his beautiful and favorite child - the hope of his old age - the daughter of his loved and loving FA Tmm - and he ordered proclamation to be made over all his Kingdom, announcing the sickness of the Princess, and offering a reward equal to the ransom of a Prince, to him who should restore to health and happiness his only child. No sooner had the proclamation been made, than from afar came the most renowned Doctors of Iran, from the burning sands of Kirman, and the frozen mountains of Tartary - from the East, North, West and South came the young and the old to behold the waning Star of Teheran, fondly hoping that some one of them might be so fortunate as to restore to joy and happiness the lovely daughter of the King.

The episode of the Crown of Glory really took place; while the account of the great earthquake in Shiraz is given from the lips of one who was present at that appalling catastrophe. Strange things are here described, but they have happened, and will happen again nothing is exaggerated, nothing overdrawn, in this Plain Tale of life in Persia. As to the spelling of Persian words, the example of Morier is followed, and they are spelt as pronounced, no.
