First published in 1823, it was an instant best-seller, and is still in print. Little, however, is known of the life of its author, James Morier. Here, for the first time, the reader can follow the fascinating story of James and his two brothers, Jack and David. Their Swiss-born father was a merchant in Smyrna; but during the Napoleonic Wars the brothers, all British citizens although there was only a tiny drop of British blood in their veins, forsook the world of trade to become involved in the exciting world of countering French activities and influence in the Ottoman Empire and Persia. This book is based on a mass of almost unknown family papers and, through the many letters the Moriers wrote to each other from far-flung corners of the globe, throws fresh light on the lives of people caught up in the early years of colonial expansion.  aJames Morier, creator of Hajji Baba of Ispahan, and his brothers 1302703858092062aMorierbJames Justinienf1780-1849304940716391061xVoyages2rameau 1302703858092062aMorierbJames Justinienf1780-18493027281558914xBiographies2rameau  aMorier familyxBiography2lc  302723457695aIran30276529209567xDescriptions et voyages3027794059927z19e siècle2rameau  30293947679838aEmpire ottomanxRelations extérieures2rameau 1303401244392243aJohnstonbHenry McKenzief1921-....4070 3bAbesc20080411gAFNOR 1bOCLCgAACR2 2bAUROC 3bSFc19000120  92950bMCADcMCADeSalle de lecturefHISMODMAC51998kHIS MOD MAC ՄԱԳ 5.1998o0rLIVR
