  • Travels in Central Asia

    by Arminius Vambery ...
    It was not until we were about two stations from Teheran, that the idea struck our Djilodar to change our march by day into night marches. But even this expedient had its inconveniences: for the coolness of the night in Persia is a great disposer to slumber; the slow pace of the animals has a composing effect, and one must really firmly cling to them, or sometimes even suffer oneself to be bound ...

  • Arminius Vambery, His Life and Adventures

    by Arminius Vambery ...
    When my father died in 1832 I was but a few months old. My mother was poor, very poor indeed. By marrying again, however, she fondly hoped she might be enabled to give her helpless and fatherless orphans a better bringing up. But in this expectation she was sadly mistaken. Our stepfather, although a very excellent man, did but very little towards relieving the pressing needs of our small household ... Read more

  • Sketches of Central Asia (1868): Additional Chapters on my Travels, Adventures, and on the Ethnology of Central Asia

    by Arminius Vambery ...
    The dervish is the veritable personification of Eastern life. Idleness, fanaticism, and slovenliness, are the features which in him are regarded as virtues, and which everywhere are represented by him as such. Idleness is excused by allusion to human impotence; fanaticism explained as enthusiasm in religion; and slovenliness justified by the uselessness of poor mortals in struggling against fate. ...

    by Arminius Vambery ...

Whether they are derived from the Sarmatians, who, though likewise of Asiatic origin, were located on both sides of the Vistula long before the irruptions of the kindred barbarians, ... Read more
