This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adventures of Hajji Baba, of Ispahan, Vol. 1 of 2 Although the principal function of a work of fiction is to entertain, to describe H ajji Baba merely as an entertaining story would be to give a most inadequate idea of its value. The amusement which it affords to the ordinary novel-reader, who seeks from its perusal nothing beyond amusement, is, moreover, amply attested by the favourable reception accorded to the book on its first appearance in 1824, and by the several editions (in 1828, 1835, 1856, 1863, etc.) which have since been called for. It has long been ranked amongst standard English novels, nor is it likely to be displaced so long as the English nation is able to appreciate good literature. Every cultivated Englishman who has not read Hajji Baba (if, indeed, the Englishman who has read it not can, in the full meaning of the term, be described as cultivated) should at once proceed to remedy this defect in his education. If he be a normally constituted person, with a reasonably well-developed sense of humour, he will hardly lay the book aside until he has finished.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan, Vol. 2 of 3 Are hushed up among the Curds, I have never dared to question any body concern ing them, and cannot, therefore, ascertain whether the reports about my birth be true or not. It is very certain that I never looked up to any one as my mother; but was brought up at hazard among our wo men, and that my earliest friend was a foal, that lived as an inmate with us. It was born in the very tent which my father's wives occupied; and its dam, of the purest Arabian blood, was treated more like one of the family than a quadruped: in fact, it received much more attention than any of the Wives; it enjoyed the warmest place in the tent, was beautifully clothed, and in all our journeys was the first object of our cares. When the mare died, an universal lamentation ensued throughout the en campment. The foal lived to be my father's.

Excerpt: ...the Russians had got possession of that country. ' On the following day, the day of my long expected happiness, I and all my family arose betimes in the morning. The weather was serene but sultry; there had been a-tendency to storm for several days before, and heavy clouds stood in threatening attitudes with their white heads in the horizon. But nature was beautiful, and refreshed by a shower that had fallen in the night. My friend, the captain, lent me his horse, which I caparisoned and ornamented as well as I could on the occasion. I myself put on a new suit of clothes from head to foot, and with the addition of many silverstudded belts, cartouche-boxes, daggers, and other appendages fastened about me, and which had been lent me by a Georgian in the service of the Russians, I was told, and I believe it, thatl made a very handsome appearance. Accompanied by my male relations, the Russian captain, and as many of his men as could be spared in order to create a crowd, we proceeded to Geuklfi, and approaching it, marshalled ourselves in procession, preceded by music, songs, and shouts. We alighted at my bride's house, where we partook of refreshments, and received the congratulations of all the village; and then, when all was prepared for our return to Gavmishlfi, where my uncle was to perform the ceremony, we mounted again. My bride, covered by a crimson veil from head to_foot, which flowed. over a flat platter placed on her crown, was mounted on her father's steed, led on either side by her brothers. It is the custom for the bridegroom to hold a sash or girdle by his right hand, which is held at the other end by the bride on their way to the church, and this we did. All our friends, our relations, all the youth of the...

Excerpt: ...all sizes and denominations, enough to have paved the way, if placed side by side, from Tehran to Tabriz; if placed lengthways, God only knows where they would have reached--into the very grave of the father of all the Russians perhaps! ' Bah! bah! bah!' exclaimed the am-bassador; ' say after this that this nation is ruined! Why, here is enough to blow the debt, and the creditors to boot, thousands of parasangs beyond the farthest Je-hanum! Go to, go to, my little uncle, ' said he to me, ' let us talk no more of the ruin of England. The friendship of such a nation is not to be thrown away. If the Turcoman or Yuzbeg once knew that Path Ali Shah was a friend to a king who possesses ten thousand cannon, and ten millions of cannon balls, whose dog would he be to think of disowning his supremacy.' We were taken from one wonder to another, with our hands to our mouths, sucking the fingers of astonishment and admiration. Secrets were explained which before had been kept under the veil of ignorance. The making of a gun now appeared as easy to us as twisting a piece of sugar. We saw iron flowing about as liquid as the waters of a canal, and becoming a cannon, a ball, a bar, or a nail at pleasure. I noted down what we saw, agreeing all the time with my chief, that in vain I wrote, in vain we might take oaths, we should find no one in Persia to helieve us. Among the officers who conducted the ambassador through the establishment was a young ' no beard, ' who attached himself particularly to me, and who showed me all sorts of attentions. I was fearful lest this preference might be noticed by my chief, and therefore rather shunned him. The cause of his attentions was explained when the youth informed me that he was a young Hogg, son to the worthy family.
