Book excerpt: Excerpt from The City of the Sultan, Vol. 1 of 2: And Domestic Manners of the Turks, in 1836 In publishing the present work I feel that I should be deficient in self-justice, did I not state a few facts relatively to the numerous difficulties with which I have had to contend during its compilation. The language of Turkey, in itself a serious impediment from its total dissimilarity to every European tongue, naturally raises a barrier between the native and the stranger, which is to the last only partially removed by the intervention of a third person; who, acting as an Interpreter, too frequently fritters away the soul of the conversation, even where he does not wilfully pervert its sense.

Book excerpt: Excerpt: "Seagulls were flying past us in clouds, and sporting like domestic birds about the vessel, while many of the adjoining roofs were clustered with them; the wild-duck and the water-hen were diving under our very stern in search of food; and shoals of porpoises were every moment rolling by, turning up their white bellies to the light, and reveling in safety amid the sounds and sights of a mighty city, as though unconscious of the vicinity of danger."

Download or read book The City of the Sultan And Domestic Manners of the Turks In 1836 written by Julia Pardoe and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julia Pardoe (December 4, 1806 - November 26, 1862), was an English poet, novelist, historian and traveller. She was born at Beverley, Yorkshire, and showed an early interest in literature. She became a prolific and versatile writer, producing in addition to her lively and well-written novels many books on travel, and others dealing with historical subjects. She was a keen observer, and her travel to the East gave her an accurate and deep knowledge of the peoples and manners of the East. To modern readers she is probably best known for her books on her travels in Turkey, which are some of the earliest works by a woman on this area. In 1836 she travelled to Constantinople with her father, Major Thomas Pardoe. This voyage inspired her book The City of the Sultan (1836). Later she collaborated with the artist William Henry Bartlett to produce The Beauties of the Bosphorus (1839), an illustrated account of Constantinople.

This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julia Pardoe (1804-62) was an English poet, novelist, historian, and traveller. Born in Beverley, Yorkshire, she was the second daughter of Major Thomas Pardoe who had served in the Peninsula campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars and fought at Waterloo. She began writing at an early age and published her first work, The Nun: A Poetical Romance, anonymously in 1824. Her first novel Lord Morcar of Hereward (1829) was also published anonymously. Like many others in the early 19th century she travelled south to benefit from the warmer climate and thus avoid tuberculosis, and her first travel book, Traits and Traditions of Portugal, was published in 1833. A trip to Turkey with her father inspired her best-known work, The City of the Sultan and Domestic Manners of the Turks, published in two volumes in 1837, in which she presents the Turkish upper-class with sympathy and humanity. Volume I offers the reader an insight into harem life, betrothal and marriage customs, religious practices, and many other aspects of the daily life of a well-to-do Turkish household, and is illustrated with engravings, the majority from her own drawings. The book became so popular that it was republished in 1838, 1845, and 1854, and was followed by The Beauties of the Bosphorus in 1838.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a resourceful collection of essays examining recent efforts to respond to the challenges of planning, management and conserving landscapes in contemporary Iran, the home of Persian gardens. Drawing on selected recent studies, the chapters discuss the following topics: The sphere of knowledge and theoretical bases, including a survey of recent and ongoing research; Persian gardens remaining from the 6th century BC to the 19th century AD, which have influenced garden design in a vast geographic domain extending from India to Spain; Management and conservation of cultural landscapes, historic urban landscapes (HUL), road landscapes, and natural landscapes in the face of changes in climatic conditions and livelihood practices affecting their delicate dynamic balance and functions essential to their distinctive character; and Historic Territorial Landscapes (HTL) formed and evolved along the Silk and Spice Roads as compositions of tangible and intangible elements resulting from movement, exchanges and dialogue in space and over time. The book is a useful resource for a range of academics and professionals, such as landscape architects and managers, landscape historians and conservationists, and urban planners and managers.
