About this eBook

Author Mundy, Talbot, 1879-1940
Title Affair in Araby
Summary "Affair in Araby" by Talbot Mundy is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book intricately weaves a narrative set against the backdrop of Middle Eastern politics and intrigue, revolving around the efforts to support Feisul, the third son of the King of Mecca, as he strives to unite the Arab nations amidst external pressures and threats. The opening portion introduces the main characters including James Schuyler Grim, an astute political strategist, and Jeremy Ross, a spirited Australian with a penchant for audacity. The story commences with a richly metaphorical discussion about the nature of power and loyalty, framed through the lens of a chess game that serves as an allegory for the political maneuverings in the region. As Grim reveals his ongoing efforts to support Feisul and counteract French interference, the plot thickens with stakes involving gold mines, military loyalties, and potential revolutions. Jeremy's enthusiasm contrasts with Grim's more calculating demeanor, setting the stage for their subsequent adventures across the desert, the alliances they form, and the impending crisis they need to navigate in Jerusalem and Damascus.
