Beskrivelse af The Giaour a Fragment of a Turkish Tale
The Giaour: A Fragment of a Turkish Tale is a poetic work written by the famous English poet, Lord Byron George Gordon. The poem tells the story of a giaour, or infidel, who falls in love with a Muslim woman named Leila. Despite their different religions, the two become lovers, but their happiness is short-lived when Leila is murdered by her own family in an honor killing. The giaour seeks revenge on her killers, but his actions lead to his own downfall. The poem is set against the backdrop of the Ottoman Empire and explores themes of love, religion, and revenge. Byron's vivid descriptions and use of imagery bring the story to life, making it a classic work of Romantic literature.And lust and rapine wildly reign To darken o'er the fair domain. It is as though the fiends prevail'd Against the seraphs they assail'd, And, fix'd on heavenly thrones, should dwell The freed inheritors of hell; So soft the scene, so form'd for joy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
