理查德·罗伯特·马登:《土耳其帝国及其与基督教及文明的关系》,伦敦,1862年 初版,四开本,共两卷,内容完整;同时期皮面硬皮封面略有磨损,书脊略松,内文洁净明亮,整体状况极佳 这部鸿篇巨制至今仍是西方人针对奥斯曼帝国所作的最尖锐批判之一。马登是一位引人入胜的人物,他既是医生,又是外交官,还是一位曾为反对西印度群岛奴隶贸易而奋斗的坚定废奴主义者。他将这种追求社会正义的视角带到了黎凡特地区。 他于1820年代首次前往黎凡特地区,这部1862年的著作凝聚了他四十年的观察与书信往来。马登对改革持公开的怀疑态度。他认为,土耳其政府无法实现真正的文明,因为其根本法律与进步不相容。马登终生都是亲希腊主义者。 他以生动的细节描述了希腊人和基督徒在奥斯曼统治下的苦难,并将1821年革命视为该帝国必然彻底崩溃的开端。 凭借其废奴主义者的背景,马登提供了当时为数不多的、聚焦于君士坦丁堡及各省国内奴隶贸易的当代记述——这一话题被许多其他旅行者视为“风情画”而轻描淡写。他认为,“基督教问题”实际上是一场道德斗争。 他认为,奥斯曼帝国的存续是对欧洲基督教文明的冒犯。这部两卷本著作的大部分篇幅都用于记述奥斯曼帝国的暴行,旨在提醒英国读者该帝国的暴力历史。
