Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from My Russian and Turkish Journals The first of these journal letters; addressed to my Mother, was written thirty-seven and the last thirty-two years ago. These years represent a very long time in the life of a person, but a very short time in the history of a country, and yet between the years 1879 and 1916 very great changes have taken place in the countries mentioned in these pages. And although I only tell of the social life in our Embassies, and of my own personal experiences, and make no pretence of writing a book about Russia or Turkey, my readers cannot but realise that times are greatly changed since these letters were written. When we were in Russia a dark cloud of Anarchism hung over her chief cities, unrest and discontent were spoken of on all sides; while now the enthusiastic patriotism of her people, their self-sacrifice, their dogged perseverance, and their serious and reverent attitude towards life, fill us with admiration. We rejoice in her strength and are proud of our great Ally. Turkey, alas! is now our enemy, but it is impossible not to have a kindly feeling for a country in which one has spent a happy time, and I am glad to believe that Turkish soldiers fight like gentlemen, and that they treat their prisoners with humanity. I had special opportunities of knowing how terribly their women and children suffered in the last Balkan War: I can well imagine how sad must be their condition now, and I think of them with the greatest pity. It was a very much brighter Turkey I knew, even though it was reigned over by Abdul Hamid. This account of life in our Embassies is altogether one-sided; the business part of it is entirely left out.
