Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jewels From the Orient In such an atmosphere the girls of that school were interested to learn of Morrison and Carey and Judson and other Christian leaders, pioneers of foreign missions. It was not strange that many of the young women of that school, after graduation, were ready for foreign service, wherever there were open doors. Neither was it strange that in later years I should plan a world tour of missions, and look in upon schoolmates and relatives who were at work in Japan, China, Burma and India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Amulet: A Tale of the Orient Two thousand years ago there lived in the city Of Babylon a wise man, known in those days as an astrologer. Men of his profession were reverenced for their learning, and their sage counsels were fol lowed alike by kings and people. Their prophecies were indeed fulfilled in a wonderful manner, although the materialist Of today would scoff and sneer at such credulity. But there is a wisdom even beyond that of the most advanced scientist. This wisdom is the direct result of the teaching of the higher powers, but has been lost to the world for many centuries, owing to the increasing materialism of the race. Man has gradually discarded the teachings of his ancestors of the dim past, who, however, held the truth as we do not hold it today. The western world has wandered far from it, and in their egotism allude to the early wisdom as superstition.

The work falls into four main divisions. The first deals with the jewellery worn during classical times, and until the ninth century of our era. The second treats of the jewels Of the Middle Ages. The third is devoted to the jewels of the Renaissance, and the fourth includes those of subsequent times. In the chapters dealing with Renaissance and later jewellery I have endeavoured to utilise the valuable evidence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Carthage and Tunis, Vol. 1: The Old and New Gates of the Orient Most of the City of the Beys is under one roof - the far - famed Bazar of Tunis. No one sleeps in the Bazar. The rich Arabs, Who are faithful to their national customs, live in the tall antique palaces of such streets as the Rue du Riche and the Rue des Andalous on its skirts; the poor Arabs live in the reeats like those which stretch from the bab-souika and bab-menara. In the cool Bazar you spend the heat of the day, watching Oriental life. The Arab cares little to sell and there is little you care to buy. All the touting and bargaining is done 'by Jews. All the real bargains are outside the Bazar. The fantastic, romantic, delightful pottery of the bab-souika fills more than one page in this book; the ancient brassware, as romantic, is sometimes sold for songs in the street-sales of the copper-workers' soak; Bedouin jewellery and charms and saddle-bags you buy in the Baza'r when you have the good luck to meet their itinerant vendors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lalla Rookh: An Oriental Romance Fadladeen was a judge of every thing, - from the pencilling ofa Circassian's eyelids to the deepest ques tions of science and literature; from the mixture of a conserve of rose-leaves to the composition of an epic poem; and such influence had his opinion upon the various tastes of the day, that all the cooks and poets of Delhi stood in awe' of him. His political conduct and opinions were founded upon that line of Sadi, Sliciuld the Prince at noonday say, It is night, declare that you behold the moon and stars.-and his zeal for religion, of which Aurungzebs was a munificent protector, was about as disinterested as that of the gold smith who fell in love with the diamond eyes of the idol of Jaghernaut.

Book Synopsis The Jewel of Seven Stars by : Bram Stoker
Download or read book The Jewel of Seven Stars written by Bram Stoker and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jewel of Seven Stars (1903) is a novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. Written during a period of increased interest in Egyptology across Europe, The Jewel of Seven Stars helped to establish the Irish master of Gothic horror’s reputation as a leading writer of the early-twentieth century. In the middle of the night, a young lawyer is roused from sleep by Margaret Trelawny. At her urgent request, he accompanies her to the house of her father, Abel Trelawny, a world-renowned Egyptologist. There, Ross discovers the archaeologist unconscious and in a trance-like state on the floor of his bedroom, surrounded by strange and horrifying artifacts. After reading a note left by Trelawny instructing them not to wake him, the group takes turns watching over the injured man. Several nights later, a man arrives who reveals himself to be Eugene Corbeck, a colleague of Trelawny’s who has only recently returned from Egypt. He shares with them the story of their discovery years before of Queen Tera’s tomb. By taking the sarcophagus, the pair unlocked an ancient curse, and have since been struggling to fulfill the prophesy recorded on the wall of the tomb—the resurrection of the Queen. The Jewel of Seven Stars demonstrates not only Stoker’s detailed research of contemporary Egyptology, but an undeniable mastery of horror. Blending nineteenth-century Gothic themes with twentieth-century concerns regarding the legacy of British imperialism, Stoker’s novel is an artifact itself, and a highly entertaining one at that. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Bram Stoker’s The Jewel of Seven Stars is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.
