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\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 244\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 18, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52451680747827,"sku":"9781605207421","price":34.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/K0ZyMHRwd1o0NllBYWpUMWlsZVNGdz09.webp?v=1759100255","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/memoirs-of-an-arabian-princess-paperback-2","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
