JONES 79. DUFRENOY I, 152. first edition. Adventures of a Frenchman reduced to slavery in the harem of a Turkish prince. After many gallant adventures and the death of his lover, he manages to return to his homeland. This famous gallant novel, often republished, was blacklisted by the police in 1822. The author, who died in 1759, had a reputation for writing light-hearted tales. Compared with its predecessors, this work has the merit of taking pains to depict local colour and describe oriental customs accurately.
