Présentation de l'éditeur
Despite superficial indications to the contrary, the purpose of the present volume is a very serious one. The book is divided into two parts which are much more intimately connected than the reader may suspect at first sight. Part I deals with the adventures of a journalist named Sinbad in the city of Bagdad in the dim past of the year -1917 of the Christian era. Part II deals with the adventures of an American journalist named Williams in the New York of the year 1921. A person might well ask: What connection can there be, on the one hand, between Sinbad, with his friends the Caliph, the Principal Censor, the Minister of High and Low Finance, the Chief Secretary of Ways and Detours, the Princess A yesha, and other exotic figures, and, on the other hand, the perfectly commonplace Williams with his equally normal friends? The answer is simple. A cross the gulf of Space and Time the reader will discern the ties of a common humanity between the two men. He will be struck with a definite resemblance between the thoughts, the feelings, and even the concrete problems of two epochs and two civilizations. If Williams, in our own town and in our own day, seems to be thinking and saying very much the same things as Sinbad in his alien environment, it is not at all a case of mere repetition. It is only a case of the fundamental sameness of human nature. In this the unity of the book consists.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of stories set in Baghdad in 1917, on the cusp of the British-led invasion of Ottoman Mesopotamia. Written in the decades after World War I, when the British Empire was beginning to crumble, the author weaves together tales of ordinary people living through extraordinary times and the tensions between tradition and change. The stories delve into how war, politics, and technology encroach on the daily lives of the Caliph, the Princess, and a street barber, among others, even as they navigate age-old problems in new guises. The author draws parallels between the transformation of Baghdad under British rule and the transformation of the region's society and culture, and explores the timeless themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
