Sobre IBD

Morovenia is a state in which both the mosque and themotor-car now occur in the same landscape. It startedout to be Turkish and later decided to be European.The Mohammedan sanctuaries with their hideousstencil decorations and bulbous domes are jostled bymany new shops with blinking fronts and Germanmerchandise. The orthodox turn their faces towardMecca while the enlightened dream of a journey toParis. Men of title lately have made the pleasingdiscovery that they may drink champagne and still begood Mussulmans. The red slipper has been succeededby the tan gaiter. The voluminous breeches now acknowledgethe superior graces of intimate Englishtrousers. Frock-coats are more conventional thanbeaded jackets. The fez remains as a part of theinsignia of the old faith and hereditary devotion to theSick Man.
