Nouvelles Asiatiques by comte de Arthur Gobineau
"Nouvelles Asiatiques" by comte de Arthur Gobineau is a collection of short stories published in 1876. Drawing from his years as a French diplomat in Persia, Gobineau crafted six tales set across the Middle East and Central Asia. Unlike conventional novels, he chose the short story format to capture multiple perspectives of Persian society—each narrative offering a different facet of Oriental life. The stories transport readers through Persia, Afghanistan, the Caucasus, and
Turkey, revealing diverse characters and customs. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
