A Moral Journey Through Fortune and Resilience
A reflective meditation on enduring misfortune, the faults of youth and aging, and the need to guard the heart against desire and ambition. The narrative pairs a parable of Shingfu and a philosophical letter, urging acceptance of life’s varied climates and patience through trials.
Mysterious Ottoman Frontiersmen Held Between Worlds
A late 18th century note reports a mail from Holland and Constantinople dated September 2. The Grand Signior claims a Sultana is four months pregnant. Promises of pardon to the Basha of Iconium are said to have been conditional on peaceful retirement, yet orders to capture him may have been leaked, leaving the wary rebel to guard against a hidden trap on his journey toward China and Persia.
