E-text prepared by Barbara Tozier, Janet B., Bill Tozier, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Halil the Pedlar: A Tale of Old Stambul" by Mór Jókai is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book weaves a captivating narrative set in 18th-century Ottoman Istanbul, exploring themes of rebellion, love, and social change through the journey of its protagonist, Halil Patrona—a humble pedlar who unwittingly becomes embroiled in a rebellion against the Sultan. The story also delves into the fate of a veiled slave girl named Gül-Bejáze, whose beauty and tragic circumstances intersect dramatically with Halil's life. The opening of the novel introduces the discontent brewing against Sultan Ahmed III, whose indecision has led to the rise of Halil Patrona among the Janissaries. It establishes Halil as a character defined by his brave and cunning nature, eventually leading a rebellion that changes the course of the Ottoman Empire. As the narrative unfolds, readers witness Halil's interactions in the bustling bazaars of Stambul and his amusing yet perilous encounters, including a gripping moment where he fights a drunken Janissary to protect a stranger. This sets the stage for his eventual acquisition of Gül-Bejáze, a tale filled with emotional depth and rich historical context, offering readers a glimpse into a vivid world of intrigue and passion where individual destinies intertwine with the fate of an empire.
