Mohamed Ali Pacha

A poor German bookseller's boy, Julius Werner, leaves his country and becomes in time Mohamed Ali Pasha, a soldier in the Ottoman service who commands the Albanians in their rising against the Porte. Gouw Peng Liang's tale of 1917, told in the Malay of the Peranakan Chinese press, ends with the commander's death through the treachery of his own captains. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
