Memoirs of Prince Alexy Haimatoff
This romance by Shelley’s friend and biographer is a literary find of rare interest. Shelley himself, in his original review described the book as a "strange and powerful performance . . . affording inexhaustible food for wonder and delight". The hero travels from Europe to Constantinople, where, after an Arabian Nights’ adventure in the Seraglio, he buys a Circassian slave to whom he becomes passionately devoted: after her tragic death he returns to Germany where he is initiated into the mysteries of the Eleutheri: finally he comes to England, falls in love, and marries.
