| Summary | "Arethusa: Konstantinopolin orjatar" by F. Marion Crawford is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around Carlo Zeno, a Venetian nobleman residing in Constantinople during the late 14th century, who has an intricate past filled with various occupations and adventures. The narrative promises a rich exploration of themes such as love, power, and the complexities of human relationships within a historical context. The opening of the book introduces Carlo Zeno, a man marked by his experiences as a former soldier and now a merchant in Constantinople. As he finds solace in his peaceful life filled with business dealings and culinary delights, news from his Venetian friend, Marco Pesaro, pulls him back into the world of intrigue and moral dilemmas, particularly concerning the purchase of an attractive slave girl for his friend's aging wife. This dilemma sets the stage for potential conflict and reveals Zeno's character, as he grapples with the ethical implications of his actions while navigating the bustling, diverse society of Constantinople.
