Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Queer Things About Persia I have never written a book whose title was so much criticised as my recently published Secrets of the Vatican. But no one, I think, will say that Queer Things about Persia is a misnomer. As its name implies, it is written on the lines of my Queer Things about Japan. In other words, leaving completeness to those who have had greater opportunities of studying the country, it is content to be characteristic. It will be noticed that this book is written in the first person singular. I have not been in Persia, whereas Mr. de Lorey spent two years there as a member of the Legation of France at the Court of Teheran. It is right, therefore, that the descriptions should be his in form as they are in actuality. Our method of collaboration was very simple and direct. I suggested to him a general scheme for the book, drawn up on the lines of my Queer Things about Japan. He considered how far this was applicable to the conditions of Persia, and produced the actual scheme. Upon this we worked. Our method of work was for him to spend so many hours or days in thinking out the subject of a chapter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
