About this book
A young Persian from Ispahan sets out on his travels, is taken by Turcoman raiders, and then makes his living as a water-carrier and as a seller of smoke. Chapter headings follow him to Tehran, into the service of the king's physician, into a love affair with the slave Zeenab, and on to a government post and the Shah's camp. James Morier, who knew Persia as a British diplomat, first brought out this comic story of Persian manners in 1824. The 1895 edition here carries drawings by H. R. Millar and an introduction by George Curzon.
