I have been reading many books about Muslims in many different times and places. This memoir stands apart from them in that it is a first person account of life in the Sultan's homes by a woman who was born there and lived there until her late teens.The most enjoyable parts of the book, for me, were when she described the matrimonial ceremony, and described the day to day protocol for eating, praying, and visiting friends.More than once, I was forced to pause and seriously consider some of the Arab customs pertaining to feeding the destitute, and the system of taxation levied upon the wealthy, whereby they had to tithe 10% of all their gains to the community. And this was done without laws imposed from the state, but rather as an unquestioned responsibility to the religion.Finally, I learned a lot from the author's ability to jump from Zanzibar to Germany in Victorian times. She has a unique view on both Eastern and European culture. She often come out with some zingers as she compare the two cultures which make one stop and really think about the superiority of one over the other.For anyone who is interested in Arab culture from 150 years ago, I beg you to read this book. It is undoubtedly more authentic than any scholarly treatise of the time. It is a delight. Do not discount it. Do not let it pass you by.
Because I have recently become involved in a dance troupe involving Middle Eastern, Romani, Persian, etc. costumes, the cover of this memoir immediately caught my eye. The autobiography was much more readable than I expected from something written 150 years ago. Just as in any classic book from long ago, it takes awhile to get used to the rhythm of historical dialogue. Add to that the fact that the author was virtually uneducated, and that the book is written through her eyes in a time that was very different than now, it could have been very hard to read. However, the true story of a woman raised in a harem (with all the political intrigue you might imagine), was instead hard to put down! Her down to earth details of royal Muslim life, like wearing hajib, explanation of Sharia law, experiencing Ramadan, and even her very unpleasant view of black Africans made me wish for more of her outspoken voice. I do admit, the tale begins to drag when she falls in love, moves to Germany, and converts to Christianity, but, she was writing about her life in Zanzibar and so her story had to end. I truly enjoyed reading this unusual memoir of a real Arabian princess and would recommend to fans of women's history in particular.
I bought this thinking it'd give a bit more insight as to the life of females in Islamic Zanzibar but it fails. The author seems completely ignorant as to what is going on around her, and to her. At one point in the early part of the book she claims that contrary to popular belief, males and females are treated completely equally, with girls just as likely to inherit as boys in a family. And then she goes on just a little later about how her brothers are all given a house and servants when they come of age, yet the sisters aren't given that same advantage (probably because the girls will be married off and become the responsibility of a husband). She says one thing and then almost immediately contradicts it with the reality--and she doesn't even realize she's just made herself a liar. She leads a fairly easy life of privilege and doesn't seem to have much interest in anything other than herself and her pleasures so she misses so much in life. It got pretty boring pretty fast and I began to question why she bothered to write a memoir, consider there's nothing really to remember. She really hasn't lead anything close to an interesting life and hasn't done much with the time on earth she has been given.
That this book was originally published in 1907, and I expected it to be ponderous to read. But it was very easy to read, highly intelligent, well organized, and a fascinating look at the culture of Zanzibar in the late 1800s. The author was the daughter of the Oman / Zanzibar sultan, who left to marry a German merchant. She makes very good points about the strengths and challenges weaknesses of both the Arab culture and the European culture. Well worth an investment of time to read.
I found this book to be very interesting in that the Princess tells her story herself and brings the reader into a life not known by many people. She in describes every day life in Zanzibar during the late 1800's and early 1900's and even royalty in those days had it's drama with family members.I found her writing to be a little dry and juvenile at times, but it was nicely written.
this was good for the traveller to zanzibar to get a touch of insight. i have to say, her opinions on the nature of "negro slaves" was quite off-putting, but i had to just remind myself that she was of a different culture and a different time. also, zanzibar was big into the slave trade at the time. ugly history, no doubt. other than that, it was a really interesting insight to what life was like in a place that, if you visit today, you can't even compare to your home. but take it back 100+ years... very interesting...
Whether or not Reute is truly an Arabian princess shouldn't be disputed, as the detailed account of customs, courts, inside secrets, and life as royalty is too accurate to possibly be a lie. The blatant, unapologetic way the authoress describes, and confronts is compelling enough so that one does not want to put the book down until it is finished.
I found this memoir fascinating and lively. The author is bright, lively and a keen observer. That said, it was written during the Victorian era, in German, and then translated. So the writing and viewpoint reflect that era. Just imagine an Arabian princess from an idyllic tropical island who moved to stuffy, cold, Victorian Germany. Her views on the cultural differences are insightful, refreshing and funny. Just be prepared to understand her Victorian cultural viewpoint and writing style.
