San Francisco: Georgetown Press, 1976. 250 Pages. Tan boards with red lettering on spine and front. Small store label on front endpaper. No other marks or stamps to this otherwise As New book. Flawless text pages. Dust jacket has edge wear and tears and inked price at top of front flap. It is strange that Western people know much about Greece but little about Turkey, the birth place of Diogenes, Pythagoras, Homer, Herodotus, Strabo, Thales, Aesop, Heracles, the site of cities such as Ehpesus, Pergamum, Sardis, Smyrna, Antioch, Miletus and Didyma. We forget, if we have ever known, that lost in Anatolia are the ruins of several hundred Greek and Roman cities. The Turk arrived in Turkey bringing his customs, his traditions and his new Muslim religion, ignoring the earlier inhabitants. Life in the village, life in the market town, life in the city, all continued from his past; his customs of birth, where the baby is rubbed with salt, of marriage, where the groom tosses the bloodied bedsheet out of the bridal chamber, and death where the hoja calls down into the newly occupied grave, Ahmet, do you know you are dead? All of these were brought across Asia. Religion is important for all national groups but to the Turk it comes only after his national pride. His religion dictates his way of living; his national pride dictates his way of facing the world. That is the overall story that Beatrice Bliss tells. She is a reporter and free-lance writer who has lived with the Turks during the years she spent in the Middle East. She camped with the shepherds, she lived in the villages, she has seen Istanbul as an inhabitant. She has done a book which few people do any more, with the intimate touch, the close observation, the historical perspective. Contents in Eight Chapters: The Land, And the People, The Word and the Law, Village Life in the Market Town, The Turk in the City, His Cultural Trappings, and The Economic Ship of State.. First Edition. Hard Back. Fine/Good. 6" x 9".
