Book – Told In The Coffee House: Turkish Tales Cyrus Adler & Allan Ramsay
$0.00
This eBook was first published in 1898. This collection contains 29 Turkish tales as heard by the authors on visits to Constantinople coffee houses (thus the title) in the late 1800s. They explain that in their visits to Istanbul they would frequent the coffee houses. Men would gather each night and talk about different events of the day. Often they would get in some argument and ask one of their wise elders or hodjas to decide the case. These men would inevitably respond with a story that, although borrowed from Persian and Arabic roots, was distinctly Turkish.
