Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Turkish Memories The following pages are the outcome of several prolonged visits to Constantinople, Macedonia, and Asiatic Turkey, covering a period of twelve years, from 1896 to 1908. Several of these were made under exceptional circumstances and embody experiences such as do not often fall to the lot of a traveller, some of which, I venture to think, are of lasting public interest. Anyone who has had personal relations with an autocrat - in this case the spiritual head of a faith in which in the course of centuries thousands of millions of human beings have lived and died - ought to have much to tell worth recounting. There were also the surroundings of the Monarch to be observed. Many a trait of deep human interest presented itself to him who was a privileged visitor for instance, the ups and downs of fortune as they affected the all-powerful favourite whose good offices - as in the time of a Madame de Pompadour - powerful Sovereigns did not think it beneath their dignity to strive and compete for. Such a man I have seen in disgrace. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Istanbul written by Orhan Pamuk and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2006-12-05 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Nobel Prize winner and acclaimed author of My Name is Red comes a portrait of Istanbul by its foremost writer, revealing the melancholy that comes of living amid the ruins of a lost empire. "Delightful, profound, marvelously origina.... Pamuk tells the story of the city through the eyes of memory." —The Washington Post Book World A shimmering evocation, by turns intimate and panoramic, of one of the world’s great cities, by its foremost writer. Orhan Pamuk was born in Istanbul and still lives in the family apartment building where his mother first held him in her arms. His portrait of his city is thus also a self-portrait, refracted by memory and the melancholy—or hüzün—that all Istanbullus share. With cinematic fluidity, Pamuk moves from his glamorous, unhappy parents to the gorgeous, decrepit mansions overlooking the Bosphorus; from the dawning of his self-consciousness to the writers and painters—both Turkish and foreign—who would shape his consciousness of his city. Like Joyce’s Dublin and Borges’ Buenos Aires, Pamuk’s Istanbul is a triumphant encounter of place and sensibility, beautifully written and immensely moving.

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 From Turkish Toils written by Mrs. Esther Mugerditchian and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Turkish Toils: The Narrative of an Armenian Family's Escape The following narrative was written by the wife of Mr. Tovmas K.Mugerditchian, an Armenian pastor who became attached to the British Oriental Consular Service in 1896, and in 1904 was appointed British Vice-Consul in Diarbekir. There are many reliable witnesses who will affirm that the story of Mrs. Mugerditchian is worthy of the fullest credence. The record of the Turk is sufficiently well known; the abominations he has perpetrated in Armenia are as well authenticated as any event in modern history. From other sources comes confirmatory evidence of the hideous crimes that have added further stains to Turkeys record in that unhappy land. Mrs. Mugerditchian and her family, dressed in Kurdish costume, succeeded in making their escape into the country held by the Russians. From Tiflis she was able to send the whole story to her husband, who is at present serving the British authorities in Egypt. While this small party was fleeing north-eastwards, other Armenians were making their way to Bagdad, which had just been taken by the British. Others will tell their own story, but the letter of Mr. Edmund Candlei-, the accredited Correspondent with the Mesopotamian. forces, published in The Times of June 21 st, 1917, records numerous similar instances of inhuman atrocities committed by the Turks in other parts of Armenia.
