Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diary of a Turk Although no Western Power has ever played a greater part in the problems of the Ottoman Empire than Great Britain, yet in no other country in Western Europe is Turkey more grossly misunderstood. I have been many times asked by my English acquaintances to write a book on Turkey from a Turkish point of view, and two ways of writing were suggested to me: the one was to compile a detailed work, the other to write a small and light book. To take the former advice was not possible to me, as I found myself incapable of producing a great and technical work. Besides, I thought that after all a small and lightly written volume would have a larger circle of readers, and by its help I could to some extent correct some of the mistaken ideas prevailing in England about Turkey. Therefore I began to write this little. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Turkey and the Turks Classic Reprint written by Z. Duckett Ferriman and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Turkey and the Turks IT is not pretended that this volume justifies its title in the sense that it is a full and comprehensive account of "Turkey and the Turks." For example, the subject of folklore and popular superstitions is untouched. Indeed, it would be an impertinence to intrude upon that field after the exhaustive studies in works like those of Miss Lucy Garnett. Only so much history is introduced as the author has judged necessary to the understanding of the growth of the nation. Contemporary politics are eschewed. Political speculations may be found in abundance elsewhere, for the majority of writers on Turkey have a political axe to grind, with the necessary consequence that few judgments are unbiased. All that is claimed for what is here set down is that it tries to be true. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Turk: A Novel I was born small, grew up runtish, and was so freckled that they called me Turkey Egg. This was shortened to Turkey, and finally to Turk. The community into which I was taken after having been torn from school was at least twenty-five miles away, and my only consolation for the breaking of old ties was that my nickname might not follow me so far. But when, upon being asked, I informed my new associates that my name was Lorenzo, after a famous divine who had challenged the devil to hand-to-hand encounter, a flame headed scoundrel spoke up and said: Lorenzo! Why, anybody can see your name is Turkey Egg. And they shortened it to Turkey and then to Turk. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Little Turkish Cousin IN Europe and Asia there are two countries separated from each other by a narrow strip of water. One of these is spoken of as Turkey in Europe, and the other as Turkey in Asia. They are held together under one ruler called the Sultan. He has absolute power over his people, and can do with them as he likes. One word from his lips is enough to cause the death of any of his subjects. None dare to disobey him. It is because his rule is not the best and wisest, and also because his kingdom is always in danger from the countries around it, that the Sultan is often spoken of as The Sick Man of Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Soul of a Turk Looking back over these journeys in uncivilised places, I observe that though a great deal of the detail that made up the daily adventure of the caravan life has faded from my mind, including most of the names of Villages where we camped, the distances of the march, and the information we gleaned, I do not forget the people I met and made friends with. Some of them stand out in my memory as friends made for life. It is not likely that I shall see many of them again, but if I do I shall need no introduction. We shall go on exactly where we left off. Antoine is one of these a Maltese servant who travelled with us twice a man whose sense of humour, at once so broad and so subtle, likened him to the gods. There was old Fellah, the magnificent sheikh of the Adwan Bedawin, whose slim figure in its rough brown 'aba' held wrapped about it the mystery of the desert and the ages.

Download or read book The Book of Dede Korkut written by and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Dede Korkut is a collection of twelve stories set in the heroic age of the Oghuz Turks, a nomadic tribe who had journeyed westwards through Central Asia from the ninth century onwards. The stories are peopled by characters as bizarre as they are unforgettable: Crazy Karchar, whose unpredictability requires an army of fleas to manage it; Kazan, who cheerfully pretends to necrophilia in order to escape from prison; the monster Goggle-eye; and the heroine Chichek, who shoots, races on horseback and wrestles her lover. Geoffrey Lewis's classic translation retains the odd and oddly appealing style of the stories, with their mixture of the colloquial, the poetic and the dignified, and magnificently conveys the way in which they bring to life a wild society and its inhabitants. This edition also includes an introduction, a map and explanatory notes.
Download or read book With the Turk in Wartime Classic Reprint written by Marmaduke Pickthall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the Turk in Wartime IN February of the year 1913 I made up my mind to go to Turkey for a few months in order to escape an atmosphere which sickened me. The English Press and public had, in this twentieth century, responded with fanaticism to the cry of a Crusade against the Turk raised by some cunning Balkan rulers; and that fanaticism had been fostered, as it seemed to my intelligence, by British statesmen - not for their country's ends, but for the ends and in the interests of Russia, our great Eastern rival. The solidarity of Christendom against a Muslim power was reckoned a fine thing by many people; but it broke the heart of Englishmen who loved the East. For what had England stood for until then, in India and throughout her Eastern empire? Had she not stood for universal toleration, for a nation ality which should be independent of religious differences? The Turks of their own will.
