"Ismael; An Oriental Tale" by Edward George Lytton Bulwer is a narrative poem written in the early 19th century. The poem centers around Ismael, a young prince with noble lineage, who embarks on a quest to reclaim the throne of Persia, drawing on themes of love, war, and destiny. The characters include Ismael, whose valor is tested in battle, and Selyma, his beloved, whose faithfulness plays a pivotal role in his story. The opening of the poem sets a picturesque scene in Caymyr, where the tranquility of the evening is contrasted with the impending chaos of war. We are introduced to Ismael, who is depicted as a gallant and handsome youth, torn between his love for Selyma and his duty to avenge his father’s wrongful death. As he prepares to rally allies around his cause, the narrative delves into his memories of love and his childhood, foreshadowing the conflicts that lie ahead as he seeks to restore honor to his family and reclaim his rightful place in the kingdom.
