Turbans and Tails: Or Sketches in the Unromantic East is a book written by Alfred J. Bamford and published in 1888. The book is a collection of sketches and observations made by the author during his travels in the Middle East, particularly in Egypt, Palestine, and Syria. The title of the book refers to the contrast between the traditional attire of the locals, represented by the turbans, and the modern European influence, represented by the tails. The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a particular aspect of the author’s travels. The chapters cover a range of topics, including the people, customs, and culture of the region, as well as the author’s personal experiences and reflections. The author’s observations are often humorous and satirical, and he is not afraid to poke fun at both the locals and the European travelers he encounters. Overall, Turbans and Tails provides a unique perspective on the Middle East during the late 19th century, offering insights into the region’s history, culture, and society. The book is written in a lively and engaging style, making it an enjoyable read for anyone interested in travel writing, history, or cultural studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
