"Essad Bey, the sickly son of an oil millionaire from Baku, Azerbaijan, receives permission from his father to spend the summer with his "milk brother" (that is, with whom he was nursed by the same Caucasian nanny) Ali Khan, passing the holiday in his home village in the wild Caucasus. So the two set out, under the custody of a wise attendant, into an archaic world in which chivalry counted more than buying power and poets were more highly regarded than princes - into a country in which, as a kind of curiosity shop of world history, all that is outlived and forgotten was loyally preserved." This is Essad Bey's second book, which was first published in English in 1931. In it the author draws upon his Oriental imaginative powers, conjuring a vast panorama of the Caucasus, its people and customs. The result is a fresh and densely atmospheric work, even if not always laying claim to scientific accuracy. Often adding a touch of imagination, the author succeeds in bringing the heart and soul of this archaic world to life, which he had himself experienced and learned to love as a child.

An Autobiography like Something Out of the Arabian Nights In this lively and witty autobiography, Essad Bey, a.k.a. Lev Nussimbaum, tells us the story of his childhood in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, and of his flight from the Russian Revolution in 1917, which brought him first straight through the Caucasus, then to Istanbul - where this book concludes - and finally to Berlin. When Essad Bey speaks of the people of the Caucasus and their customs so strange to us, a sort of anthropological cabinet of curiosities unfolds before our eyes, and we cannot help but be astonished. All the while, through his affectionate and sometimes openly ironic words, even the excesses of the Revolution sound like children's pranks and his hair-raising escape like an adventure novel. "Blood and Oil in the Orient" is an informative and entertaining book; in the 1930s, it was a bestseller in the U.S. and Germany.

Im Jahr 1935 erschienen, war "Nikolaus II. Glanz und Untergang des letzten Zaren" das letzte Buch, das Essad Bey unter seinem Namen in Deutschland veroffentlichen konnte. Von der Kritik insgesamt positiv aufgenommen, wurde das Buch des judisch-muslimischen Autors in viele europaische Sprachen ubersetzt. Nach uber 75 Jahren wird seine Biographie uber den letzten kaiserlichen Herrscher Russlands mit der vorliegenden Neuauflage einem grosseren Lesepublikum wieder zuganglich. Was dieses Buch im Vergleich zu anderen Biographien uber Nikolaus II. so einzigartig und bemerkenswert macht, ist seine Widerspruchlichkeit: Essad Bey ist auf der einen Seite bemuht, das Leben und Handeln des letzten Zaren psychologisch und irrational zu deuten und um Verstandnis und Nachsicht fur ihn zu werben. Auf der anderen Seite weist er aber auch immer wieder auf die charakterlichen Schwachen und geringen Fuhrungsqualitaten des dreizehnten Romanows hin und macht auf die stetig aufeinanderfolgenden, verheerenden Auswirkungen von Nikolaus' autokratischer Herrschaft inner- und ausserhalb Russlands aufmerksam. Feuilletonistisch und filmisch geschrieben, ist Nikolaus II. Glanz und Untergang des letzten Zaren eine spannend zu lesende und unterhaltsame historische Biographie, die den Werdegang des russischen Kaisers als tragisches Schicksal" und Mythos zugleich auffasst. Das beigefugte Nachwort liefert Hintergrundinformationen zum Zaren-Buch und setzt es in Kontext zu Leben und Werk seines Autors."
