Présentation de l'éditeur
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.
Présentation de l'éditeur
Memoirs of an Arabian Princess is a classic royal biography by Emilly Ruete. IT WAS at Bet il Mtoni, our oldest palace in the island of Zanzibar, that I first saw the light of day, and I remained there until I reached my seventh year. Bet il Mtoni is charmingly situated on the seashore, at a distance of about five miles from the town of Zanzibar, in a grove of magnificent cocoanut palms, mango trees, and other tropical giants.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a vivid account of the youth of Princess Salme, providing an insider's glimpse into the private life of the royal family in 19th century Zanzibar. It portrays a society divided along racial lines, where Arab and Abyssinian women jockeyed for position, often using their children as pawns in their subtle games of one-upmanship and spite. The author's early life was dominated by her strict stepmother, Azze bint Sef, whose harsh punishments and overbearing manner cast a pall over life at the family's country palace, Bet il Mtoni. Upon moving to the family's city residence, Bet il Sahel, Salme found greater freedom and a more congenial atmosphere. She enjoyed a close relationship with her beloved father, the Imam of Muscat and Sultan of Zanzibar, who doted on her and indulged her love of riding and fencing. Through the author's eyes, we witness the complexities of life in a polygamous society, where dozens of women competed for a single man's affections. The author's candid recollections provide a unique and intimate perspective on the inner workings of a little -known world, making this book a valuable contribution to our understanding of both history and human nature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
