“The volume is a charming one and the reader is led on from one story to the next, charmed by their flavor of the orient. It is a very fitting gift to send to some smoker.” -Book Reviews: A Monthly Journal Devoted to New and Current Publications, Volume 5, May, 1897
This book was first published in 1898. Told in the Coffee House: Turkish Tales by Cyrus Adler and Allan Ramsay contains 29 Turkish tales as heard by the authors on visits to Constantinople coffee houses (thus the title) in the late 1800’s. They explain that in their visits to Istanbul they would frequent the coffee houses. Men would gather each night and talk about different events of the day. Often they would get in some argument and ask one of their wise elders or hodjas to decide the case. These men would inevitably respond with a story that, although borrowed from Persian and Arabic roots, was distinctly Turkish.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
