Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eastern Europe and Western Asia: Political and Social Sketches on Russia, Greece, and Syria In the following pages the author has attempted to throw some light on the character of a country and the institutions of a people which are little understood in the West of Europe, and, consequently, subject to frequent misrepresentations. A residence of some years among the Russians has afforded him many opportunities of enquiries and research into the national character and history, and of observing the various reforms which have lately been introduced into Russian institutions. An account of these will be found in the third, fourth, and fifth chapters. One chapter is especially devoted to the consideration of the much-vexed Polish question. The three chapters on Greece treat of the state of that country, and of the character displayed by the Greeks, both before and during the Revolution; while the chapter on Syria contains the author´s experience in the Lebanon and at Damascus, at a time immediately following the Christian massacres.
