E-text prepared by Jonathan Ingram, Leah Moser, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Almoran and Hamet: An Oriental Tale" by John Hawkesworth is a novel written during the early 18th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of a royal court in Persia, focusing on the complex relationship between two twin brothers, Almoran and Hamet, who are both sons of King Solyman. As they navigate their contrasting personalities and aspirations in the wake of their father's death, themes of power, jealousy, and virtue emerge, setting the stage for a tale of conflict and ambition. At the start of the novel, we witness the stark differences between the twin brothers as they grapple with their shared inheritance. Almoran is portrayed as haughty and pleasure-seeking, eagerly anticipating the power that comes with becoming king, while Hamet, in contrast, is depicted as humble and virtuous, seeking happiness through moral integrity and a deeper connection to his faith. Following their father's demise, the brothers' feelings of joy and grief reveal their conflicting values—Almoran's eagerness to seize power juxtaposed against Hamet's sorrowful introspection about mortality and fate. As tensions rise, their fates become increasingly intertwined, ultimately positioning them on a collision course that will test their character and resolve in the face of ambition and rivalry.
