Excerpt from Amurath to Amurath
Where past and present are woven so closely together, the habitual appreciation of the divisions of time slips insensibly away. Yesterday's raid and an expedition of Shalmaneser fall into the same plane; and indeed what essential difference lies between them? But the reverbera tion of ancient fame sounds more richly in the ears than the voice of modern achievement. The banks of the Euphrates echo with ghostly alarums; the Mesopotamian deserts are full of the rumour of phantom armies; you will not blame me if I passed among them trattando l'ombre come cosa salda.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Embark on an enthralling journey through the landscapes and historical tapestry of the early 20th century Ottoman Empire. This book invites you to experience the vibrant city of Aleppo, a crossroads of cultures and a testament to architectural grandeur. From the bustling bazaars and the imposing citadel to the tranquil beauty of Mamluk mosques and tombs, the author paints a vivid portrait of this ancient metropolis. The narrative then ventures beyond the city walls, following the course of the Euphrates River, a historic artery connecting East and West. Explore the remnants of bygone civilizations, from Hittite inscriptions to the ruins of Parthian stations, as the author delves into the region's rich past. Encounter diverse communities, from Circassian settlers to nomadic Bedouin tribes, each with their own stories and perspectives on the changing political landscape. Amidst the backdrop of the Ottoman Empire's transition towards a constitutional government, the author contemplates themes of political reform, social change, and the complexities of identity in a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society. Witness the hopes and anxieties of a people grappling with the uncertainties of a new era, as questions of liberty, equality, and fraternity reverberate across the land.
