Описание: Edith Maud Hull (1880-1947) was a British writer of romance novels published under the pseudonym E M Hull. She is best known for The Sheik which became an international bestseller in 1921 and is credited with sparking a hugely popular revival of the "desert romance" genre of romantic fiction. The daughter of a Canadian mother and Liverpool shipowner father, originally from New York, she travelled widely with her parents as a child, including a visit to Algeria, the setting of her novels. In 1899 she married Percy Winstanley Hull, a civil engineer and later prize-winning pig farmer, and the couple moved to the Hull family estate in Derbyshire in the early 1900s and had one daughter. Hull began writing fiction while her husband was away serving in the First World War, and to her great surprise her first effort, The Sheik, published in England in1919, was a huge success, quickly selling over 1.2 million copies worldwide and appearing among Publishers Weekly's top ten bestsellers for both 1921 and 1922. Sales increased when Paramount released a film version in 1921 which launched Rudolph Valentino into cinema immortality as the greatest "lover" of the silent screen. By 1923 the novel had gone through over a hundred editions, outselling all other bestsellers combined. Hull continued to write into the 1930s and her 1925 novel The Sons of the Sheik was also a tremendous success, as was the film version, again starring Valentino in what was to be his last film. This novel was first published in 1923.

Описание: novel by Edith Maude Hull, an English novelist of the early twentieth century. It was the first of a series of novels she wrote with desert settings that set off a major revival of the "desert romance" genre of romantic fiction. It was a huge best-seller and the most popular of her books, and it served as the basis for the film of the same name starring Rudolph Valentino in the title role.The novel opens in a hotel in the Algerian city of Biskra. A dance is being held, hosted by a young woman named Diana Mayo and her brother, Sir Aubrey Mayo. It transpires that Diana is planning to leave on a month-long trip into the desert, taking no one with her but an Arab guide. Nobody thinks this is a sensible idea, and Lady Conway-a real person who appears in the book as a minor character-disapprovingly attributes Diana's adventurous plan to her "scandalous" upbringing. Diana's mother had died giving birth to her and her father had killed himself from grief, with the result that Diana grew up tomboyish, with a freedom that at the time was normally only allowed to boys.

The Sheik (1919) is a romance novel by English author E.M. Hull. Written while the author's husband was serving in the Great War, The Sheik launched Hull's career as a bestselling author of romance fiction, selling millions of copies following the release of a 1921 film of the same name. Part of a tradition of Orientalist fiction, The Sheik has proven as controversial as it has been popular, and serves now as a reminder of the ways in which British subjects imagined themselves in relation to the colonial world.
In an Algerian city, the young Diana Mayo prepares for a month-long journey through the desert. Despite warnings from family and friends, she departs with her Arab guide. Surrounded by endless swaths of sand, Diana is soon kidnapped by Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan, who has bribed her guide to abandon her. Taken to his camp, Diana is repeatedly raped over a period of weeks, and soon gives up hope of ever escaping. After a thwarted attempt at stealing one of the Sheik's horses, she slowly begins to fall in love with Ben Hassan, but realizes she must hide her feelings from a man who views her solely as an object of desire. As months go by, Diana learns the tragic truth behind the Sheik's hatred of the English, and the two begin to grow close. When she is kidnapped by a rival, however, Ben Hassan must risk his life in order to save her. The Sheik is a bestselling romance novel by a master of English popular fiction.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of E.M. Hull's The Sheik is a classic of English romance fiction reimagined for modern readers.

Abandoned by his wife, heartbroken at the loss of his child, Carew has taken to the desert to work as a mercenary, healer, and mediator between local authority figures. Content to live as a shadow of his former self, Carew forsakes Western civilization for the limitlessness and anonymity of the Algerian desert. Journeying on horseback one day, he hears the screams of a woman in the midst of being kidnapped, and reluctantly saves her life. Disheveled and barely conscious, Marny Gerardine, an Englishwoman, asks for her savior's name. Pretending to be an Arab, Carew maintains his disguise and, after a night spent resting in his shelter, brings the woman home to Algiers. There, she fears the return of her abusive husband Clyde, who will find a way--as always--to blame her for the attack. Recalling the kindness of her gentle rescuer, she wonders if he is thinking of her, if they will see one another once more. The Desert Healer is romance novel by a master of English popular fiction.

Описание: In 1906, I was barely over fourteen years old, and it was my wedding day. My older sister, Helen, came to my room, took me by the hand, and sat me down on the bed. She opened her mouth to say something, but then her face flushed, and she turned her head to look out the window. After a second, she squeezed my hand and looked back in my eyes. She said, "You've always been a good girl, Maude, and done what I told you. Now, you're going to be a married woman, and he will be the head of the house. When you go home tonight after your party, no matter what he wants to do to you, you have to let him do it. Do you understand?"I didn't understand, but I nodded my head anyway. It sounded strange to me, the way so many things did. I would do what she told me. I didn't have a choice, any more than I had a choice in being born.
