This beautiful and picturesque tale of Oriental life reads like a
chapter out of the "Arabian Nights." The heroine is a beautiful
young Greek girl who escapes the gilded dishonour of the harem by
feigning death and enduring torments. The scene of the story is
Stambul, in the eighteenth century, and every phase of life in the
great metropolis is described with singular fidelity.
