Description

A bold voyage of daring, danger, and discovery lies at the heart of The Carpet From Bagdad, where a haunted cityscape and adventurous spirits collide in a world of peril and promise. From the steam of early twentieth-century travel to the tremor of colonial intrigue, Harold MacGrath crafts a historical adventure fiction that sweeps readers into a vivid Bagdad backdrop and beyond. This restored edition revisits a tale of treasure and superstition, where explorers and their rivals thread a fragile line between courage and consequence. The novel blends a rousing plot with thoughtful glimpses of exotic cultures, offering both pulse-quickening action and reflective moments on belief, fate, and loyalty. It speaks to lovers of classic fiction while inviting casual readers to step into a richly imagined era-one that feels at once distant and urgently familiar. Alpha Editions is honoured to bring this out-of-print gem back for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, carefully revived for new readers and seasoned enthusiasts alike. The Carpet From Bagdad stands as a touchstone for early twentieth century fiction, a treasure trove for fans of middle eastern backdrop settings and Edwardian adventure authors, and a vivid invitation to savour the atmosphere, danger, and wonder of a world where every creak of a rug might hide a secret.
