Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wednesday Wife It was evening in the harem of Attar abu Hamed al Hassen. The master gazed across at Aletra, and, though she looked not - nor even glanced through the veil of her long black lashes - she knew - and he knew that she knew - he was looking. Attar and his three wives - Jeppa and Zulaykha and Aletra - were sitting about on cushions on the floor of the harem. Jeppa, his Monday wife, sat nearest him, it being the eve of Monday, from which time the day is reckoned in the East. Zulaykha, his Tuesday wife, sat next to her; and Aletra, his Wednesday wife, farthest away. Attar, contrary to the Occidental conception of a Mohammedan, was large and blond, almost herculean in build, and wore a great curling beard. His mother had been a gift to his father from one of the half-Turkish, half-Russian tribes of the border, with perhaps more Russian than Turkish blood in her veins, and the old Mohammedan had loved her well.
