The book chronicles her travels into Luristan, the mountainous terrain nestled between Iraq and present-day Iran, often with only a single guide and on a shoestring budget. Stark writes engagingly of the nomadic peoples who inhabit the region's valleys and brings to life the stories of the ancient kingdoms of the Middle East, including that of the Lords of Alamut, a band of hashish-eating terrorists whose stronghold in the Elburz Mountains Stark was the first to document for the Royal Geographical Society. Her account is at once a highly readable travel narrative and a richly drawn, sympathetic portrait of a people told from their own compelling point of view. This edition includes a new Introduction by Jane Fletcher Geniesse.. 301p. Advance Uncorrected Proof Book

1842ST16673London: Richard Bentley 1842. FIRST EDITION. 195 x 115 mm. 7 3/4 x 4 5/8". Three volumes. <br/> Contemporary half calf over brown marbled boards raised bands with gilt tooling spine panels blind-stamped in a scolloped pattern red morocco label marbled endpapers and edges. Front pastedown with the bookplate of the celebrated book-collector Frances Mary Richardson Currer of Eshton Hall in each volume. Provenance: Dibdin "Reminiscences of a Literary Life" 1836 pp. 949–57; De Ricci "English Collectors of Books and Manuscripts" 1930 pp. 141-43. Extremities a bit rubbed boards lightly chafed occasional minor marginal stains or light patches of foxing but a pleasing copy generally clean and fresh in sturdy original bindings with no significant condition issues.<br/> <br/> This novel of the British navy during the Jacobite Rebellion comes from the library of a woman described by De Ricci as "England’s earliest female bibliophile" and hailed by Dibdin as "the head of all female collectors in Europe." An only child Frances Mary Richardson Currer 1785-1861 inherited considerable assets from both her father's and her mother's families: her relative Dorothy Richardson wrote in 1815 "She is in possession of both the Richardson and Currer estates and inherits all the taste of the former family having collected a very large and valuable library and also possessing a fine collection of prints shells and fossils in addition to what were collected by her great grandfather and great-uncle." Dibdin noted that her library at Eshton Hall was "surpassed only by those of Earl Spencer the duke of Devonshire and the duke of Buckingham." According to DNB "the library had substantial holdings in natural science topography antiquities and history together with a collection of the classics. There were rarities some early printed books a collection of Bibles and a fine gathering of illustrated books. . . . Dibdin first estimated the number of volumes at 15000 and later 18000. In 1852 Sir J. B. Burke put the number at 20000." Although best known for his Leatherstocking Tales set on the early American frontier James Fenimore Cooper 1789-1851 had originally intended a career in the navy and spent several years at sea before an inheritance from his father allowed him to pursue a literary career. Deemed by Day "an excellent naval novel" the text here is a poignant tale of conflicting loyalties and the importance of friendship seen through the eyes of the titular "Two Admirals" lifelong friends supporting opposing political forces in the contest over the Stuart succession to throne of Britain.
