Eastern Fruit on Western Dishes: The Morals of Abou Ben Adhem is a book written by David Ross Locke and published in 1875. The book is a collection of short stories that explore the cultural differences between the East and West, particularly in the context of food. The stories are centered around the character of Abou Ben Adhem, a wise and generous Muslim who teaches the Western characters about the importance of hospitality, generosity, and respect for other cultures. The book is a reflection on the values and morals that are shared by people of different cultures, and a celebration of the diversity that makes the world a richer and more interesting place. Through vivid descriptions of food and the customs surrounding it, Locke offers a window into the world of the Middle East and encourages readers to embrace the beauty and richness of other cultures. Overall, Eastern Fruit on Western Dishes is a charming and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the cultural exchange between the East and West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
