The memoirs of Sultan Abdulhamid II are among the most important of the twentieth century, due to the length of his reign and the major international changes associated with his era that continue to impact our political reality.

Despite being published long ago, this version holds special significance as it is the first Arabic translation of the initial memoirs published in the Turkish magazine Atard in 1919.

The most compelling aspect for human curiosity is learning about the lives of famous, brilliant, and great individuals through their commendable deeds and efforts, especially concerning the private matters and administrative and political movements of kings which are highly contested.

The Dar Al Waraq Publishing House has been dedicated to republishing rare and forgotten books, and this translation of Sultan Abdulhamid II’s memoirs is one of those overlooked treasures.
