Book Description
Excerpt from Romance of a Harem For many a long year I lived in a harem, and of that time I have the sweetest remembrances. Comparisons that I have been able to make since the chances of fortune led me to share the life of European women, only strengthen the tender melancholy of those souvenirs. The natural sentiments of women - affection, devotion, and the decency of life - become strongly developed in the warm and favourable atmosphere of a harem.

Excerpt from The Romance of the Harem, Vol. 1 of 2 Tan flattering success of my late work on Turkey has induced me to ofi'er to the public the present collection of Oriental Fictims; which are genuine tales related by the professional Mmald he or story-tellers of the East, in the harems of the wealthy Tur dur ing seasons of festivity, and particularly in that of the Ramazan. In the selection which I have made, I have, throughout the whole work, 'carefully avoided the supernatural, save in one solita? In stance, where the allegory was so talented and tempting that felt it would require no apol with any class of readers; preferring, in every other case, a life rlre and probable chain of circumstances. To a brilliant and impossible picture. Hence my fictions neither borrow power from the Genii, terror from the Ghouls, nor grace and beauty rom the Peris; they treat only of ordinary men and we men; but individuals placed in positions, and actuated by feelings, almost unknown in Europe.

Excerpt from The Romance of the Harem, Vol. 2 of 3 "Ne oldou - what has happened?" demanded Saifula Pasha, as his chibouque-bashi handed to him his fourth pipe, while the Cadi of the town was devoutly kissing the hem of his robe; "If my head were as large as the mountain of El Caf, which surrounds the habitable globe, it would scarcely suffice for all its duties; and if my arm were long enough to reach from Stam-boul to Scanderia, it would still be too short to grasp all that it is required to hold. But speak, Cadi Almadhafer - what has happened in the city?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Her Majesty the King: A Romance of the Harem, Done Into American From the Arabic By the necessities of life confined to'an editorial desk, unable to give full scope to his genius, he left behind him comparatively few volumes, of which this one ranks as his best humorous effort. Indeed, competent judges say that this book is among the first half-dozen volumes of American humor. Yet, though it received a warm welcome from the critics, it gained no wide public audience. Who can tell why, can solve all mysteries. It is republished in the hope that a recognition deferred during the author's life time may be granted now. And this preface is written that-something may be known of one of the wittiest and most lovable of men. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Zoraida: A Romance of the Harem and the Great Sahara Away across the barren desert to the distant horizon nothing met the aching eye but a dreary waste of burning red-brown sand, under a cloudless sky Shining like burnished copper. Not an object relieved the wearying monotony of the waterless region forsaken by nature, not a palm, not a rock, not a knoll, not a vestige of herbage; nothing but the boundless, silent expanse of that wild and won.

Excerpt from Tales of the Harem The following pages are submitted to the public with considerable diffidence. They form part of a series of poems illustrative of Oriental scenery and mythology, which, should the present specimens be approved, may hereafter be published in a similar form.
