Translated by LIONEL STRACHEY (1864-1927) from the original Germany-Ruete settled in Europe after becoming a Christian-and first brought to readers of English in 1907-it gives us an intimate view on: - life in an Arabian household - the Arab love affair with horses - divorce in the East - ceremonies for newborn babies - female fashions in Arabia - the social position of women in the East - Muslin festivals - the author's escape to Europe - and much more. In this era of renewed contention between East and West, this captivating book allows us a new historical outlook on a still-secretive culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46891199594647,"sku":"9781605207421","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781605207421.webp?v=1770272594","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/memoirs-of-an-arabian-princess-9781605207421","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
