Download or read book Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Readings of the Medieval Orient written by Liliana Sikorska and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel narratives and historical works shaped the perception of Muslims and the East in the Victorian and post-Victorian periods. Analyzing the discourses on Muslims which originated in the European Middle Ages, the first part of the book discusses the troubled legacy of the encounters between the East and the West and locates the nineteenth-century texts concerning the Saracens and their lands in the liminal space between history and fiction. Drawing on the nineteenth-century models, the second part of the book looks at fictional and non-fictional works of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century which re-established the "Oriental obsession," stimulating dread and resentment, and even more strongly setting the Civilized West against the Barbaric East. Here medieval metaphorical enemies of Mankind – the World, the Flesh and the Devil – reappear in different contexts: the world of immigration, of white women desiring Muslim men, and the present-day "freedom fighters."

Download or read book The Orient the Liberal Movement and the Eastern Crisis of 1839 41 written by P. E. Caquet and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the Eastern Crisis of 1839-41, closely examining the first instance of coordinated Western intervention in the Middle East during the modern era. Readers can explore topics such as how culture, domestic politics, and ideology shaped diplomacy in this landmark crisis, and the importance role played by religion - including, alongside mainstream Christianity, the Protestant Zionist movement. Highly informative and fully researched, this book suggests that the Eastern Crisis - and its associated diplomatic and military efforts - marked the first of many modern-era attempts to “improve” the region by moulding it in a Western image, providing scholars with a new perspective on this period of history.

Book excerpt: "Pierre Loti" is a pseudonym for the French novelist and naval officer Louis-Marie-Julien Viaud. He is known for his travel literature and novels based on his experiences as a naval officer in various parts of the world. "Fantôme d'Orient" translates to "Ghost of the Orient." In "Fantôme d'Orient," Loti recounts his experiences during his travels to the Middle East, particularly in Istanbul, Turkey, and the surrounding regions. The book is a blend of travelogue, personal reflection, and vivid descriptions of the people, cultures, and landscapes he encountered. Loti often provides a romanticized and exoticized view of the Orient, typical of the Orientalist literature of his time. Pierre Loti's writings are characterized by their evocative and poetic prose. He immerses readers in the sensory and emotional experiences of his travels. His works were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and contributed to the fascination with the East in European literature and culture. "Fantôme d'Orient" is part of Pierre Loti's broader body of work, which includes novels, essays, and travel writings inspired by his naval adventures. His literary contributions have left a lasting impact on French literature and continue to be studied and appreciated for their vivid descriptions and explorations of cultural themes. In summary, "Fantôme d'Orient" by Pierre Loti is a travelogue that captures the author's experiences in the Middle East, particularly in Istanbul, and provides a romanticized view of the Orient, characteristic of the literature of his era. It is an engaging exploration of the cultures and landscapes of the region.

This book was released on 2021-07-05 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adriaan Reland (1676-1718), Arabist, Cartographer, Antiquarian and Scholar of Comparative Religion covers the intellectual achievements of a remarkable man: Adriaan Reland, professor of Oriental languages (1701) and Hebrew Antiquities (1713) at the University of Utrecht from 1701 to 1718. Although he never travelled beyond the borders of his home country, he had an astonishingly broad worldview. The contributions in this volume illuminate Reland’s many accomplishments and follow his scholarly trajectory as an Orientalist, a linguist, a cartographer, a poet, and a historian of comparative religions. Reland, although a devout Protestant, believed that religions should be examined objectively on their own terms with the help of reliable and authentic documents, which would dispel the prejudices of the past.
