Excerpt from Constantinople and Its Environs, Vol. 1 of 2: In a Series of Letters, Exhibiting the Actual State of the Manners, Customs, and Habits of the Turks, Armenians, Jews, and Greeks, as Modified by the Policy of Sultan MahmoudThese successful attempts of the only despot of the age who has exerted himself in ameliorating the condi tion of his subjects, have already produced many and radical changes. Turkey is not what it was; nor are its habits and institutions what they once were. Great changes have taken, and are hourly taking, place, that will either result in a dismemberment of the empire, the deposition of Sultan Mahmoud, or the gradual resuscita tion of the remnants at least of this vast association of kingdoms. Thus the ancient accounts of the state of Turkey, its dress, manners, and habits, are gradually becoming obsolete, like the black-letter books of the middle ages. We require a picture of the Ottoman empire as it now is, not as it was five hundred years, or, indeed, fifty years ago. To receive our impressions from such accounts as have hitherto been strictly cor rect, would be somewhat like setting down contented with a description of the Mississippi Valley previous to the establishment of our independence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Constantinople, Vol. 1 of 2 It has been my precious privilege to enjoy unusual opportunities for learning the story and entering into the life of the kaleidoscopic city. The preparation of this book has been a labor of delight, but it has occupied many years. No man could have a more fascinating theme. Even as Constantinople has a charm for all classes of mankind, I have sought to make this not a volume for any one narrow range of readers, but a book for all.

Excerpt from A Residence at Constantinople, Vol. 1 of 2: During a Period Including the Commencement, Progress, and Termination of the Greek and Turkish Revolutions During my first residence in Turkey I was in the habit of detailing to friends at home, at their special request, the various passing events of that very interesting period, and just at the time they occurred. The partiality of my correspondents attached more importance to my communications than they merited - they preserved my letters with a view which I never had in contemplation when they were written, and on my return they requested me to revise and publish them. I did so with such as were connected with an event in which the public were much interested - the advance of the Russians to Constantinople, as I had then just passed over the ground through which they were preparing to march.

This volume argues that by focusing on British and American backgrounds, readers have underestimated the impact of Asia and "the East" on American novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne's (1804-1864) writing. The central force in Hawthorne's intellectual development was New England Puritanism. It fascinated even when it sometimes repelled him. It exercised a pull on his imagination which a lifetime of varied experience did not loosen. The author recreates Hawthorne's heritage and examine his readings in material dealing with the East; he examines three of Hawthorne's "early tales" that were all written before 1830; and he looks at Hawthorne's "The Story Teller", the two-volume book of sketches and tales Hawthorne unsuccessfully tried to publish in 1834 and issued piecemeal thereafter in periodicals as annuals. The author also evaluates the role of the Eastern world in Hawthorne's view of Romance and studies some of Hawthorne's "remarkable" heroines -- Beatrice Rapaccini, Hester, Zenobia, and Miriam in particular. The author maintains that the Puritan element in Hawthorne's ancestry has been overstressed and that insufficient attention has been paid to the equally important travel-adventure-exploration aspect of Hawthorne's heritage and craft.
