Loti, Pierre, pseud. (Louis Marie Julien Viaud). Disenchanted; tr. by Clara Bell. †$1.50. Macmillan.
Awaking from the ennui and monotony of their surroundings the women of the harem are here portrayed with a thirst for knowledge a desire to let into their life-prisons the breath of a free world without any confining, artificial requirements. “We have no agonizing feeling that we are looking on at a bit of real life torn, raw and bleeding, from actual tragedy. It is sorrow and pain seen through a veiling yashmak, a tragedy in a dream.” (Ind.)
“M. Loti is gently sympathetic, writes charmingly of everything, paints delightful pictures, but suggests no remedy for sufferings.”
