around the world with ipuenktchen

a kursi is from olden times in IR when there hadn't been heating
at home not yet, only furnace fired by wood, it was common
to use a KURSI! this means a table with a plate under it full of
glowing wood, and over all they met a blanket, and people
sitting around met their legs under the blanket and it was
such a cozy place at winter eves!!!!! after daily work kursi
was a kind of gathering the family together and all in one place
to meet each other and have a very nice time. the sitting
place of the family members belongs to their role in the family;
the elder member of the family must sit on the side where
is the most far place to the door, and the smallest member
should be close to the door.


in an ancient palace from qajar era of niavaran palace
ensemble in tehran even the last empress farah had met an
original kursi in a special traditional furnitured room, and when
they had official guests of the greatest leaders of the world,
they invited them always for one eve for kursi and it was
always so amazing for them all!!!!!!

since about 30 years I've two of his books in my treasures and never read until now!!?! now remembered because of the 100th anniversary of his death I started to read my books...

*von baghdad nach stambul*
*durchs wilde kurdistan*

set in Middle East (with Kara Ben Nemsi and Hadschi Halef Omar!!!) - reading these books so late was because of my disappointment, when I heard he wrote his books playing all over the world, but had never been out of his native country until late in life 1899/ 1900........!!?!?! - what kind of writer!!!!!!!!!?!?! although he wrote about 40 adventure books, translated into 33 languages!!
