The work presents a personal perspective on life in Turkey, specifically focusing on the author's experiences growing up in Asia Minor and his reflections on societal norms. The narrative explores themes such as family heritage, education, and the cultural practices surrounding women and polygamy in Ottoman society. At the start of the memoir, the author introduces his Asiatic origins, recounts stories of his family's religious significance, and reflects on his childhood in the town of Angora. He discusses his father's charitable nature, the circumstances surrounding his father's death, and the educational challenges he faced. The initial chapters also touch upon his early encounters with the harem system, the customs of seclusion for women, and his childhood antics. As he navigates through his family's traditions and societal expectations, he provides insights into the intersection of personal aspirations and the rigid customs of Ottoman life.
