Born Joseph Hammer in Graz, Styria (now
Austria), he received his early education mainly in Vienna. Entering the
diplomatic service in 1796, he was appointed in 1799 to a position in the
Austrian embassy in Istanbul, and in this capacity he took part in the
expedition under Admiral William Sidney Smith and General John Hely-Hutchinson
against France. In 1807 he returned home from the East, after which he was made
a privy councillor.



In 1824 he was knighted (Chevalier).



For fifty years Hammer-Purgstall wrote prolifically on the most diverse subjects
and published numerous texts and translations of Arabic, Persian and Turkish
authors. He was the first to publish a complete translation of the divan of
Hafez into a western language.[1] By traversing so large a field, he laid
himself open to the criticism of specialists, and he was severely handled by
Heinrich Friedrich von Diez (1751–1817), who, in his Unfug und Betrug in der
morgenländischen Litteratur, nebst vielen hundert Proben von der groben
Unwissenheit des H. v. Hammer zu Wien in Sprachen und Wissenschaften (1815),
devoted to him nearly 600 pages of abuse. He also came into friendly conflict on
the subject of the origin of The Thousand and One Nights with his younger
English contemporary Edward William Lane.



He supported the foundation of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna and
became the Academy's first president (1847–1849). The Austrian Oriental Society,
founded in 1959 to foster cultural relations with the Near East, is formally
named 'Österreichische Orient-Gesellschaft Hammer-Purgstall' in recognition of
Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall's accomplishments.

In 1847 he received a medal commissioned by a friend of his, Ludwig August von
Frankl. The reverse references some of his works in pictures.



He died in Vienna on 23 November 1856.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

delightful read
Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.
