    Extractions: document.write(header); Vathek, ninth Caliph of the race of the Abassides, was the son of Motassem, and the grandson of Haroun Al Raschid. From an early accession to the throne, and the talents he possessed to adorn it, his subjects were induced to expect that his reign would be long and happy. His figure was pleasing and majestic; but when he was angry one of his eyes became so terrible that no person could bear to behold it, and the wretch upon whom it was fixed instantly fell backward, and sometimes expired. For fear, however, of depopulating his dominions and making his palace desolate he but rarely gave way to his anger. Being much addicted to women and the pleasures of the table, he sought by his affability to procure agreeable companions; and he succeeded the better as his generosity was unbounded, and his indulgences unrestrained, for he was by no means scrupulous, nor did he think with the Caliph Omar Ben Abdalaziz that it was necessary to make a hell of this world to enjoy Paradise in the next. He surpassed in magnificence all his predecessors. The palace of Alkoremmi, which his father Motassem had erected on the hill of Pied Horses, and which commanded the whole city of Samarah, was in his idea far too scanty; he added therefore five wings, or rather other palaces, which he destined for the particular gratification of each of his senses.

    Extractions: Beckford wurde am 1. Oktober 1759 als Sohn des reichsten Mannes von England in Fonthill (County Wiltshire) geboren und genoß bis zu seinem 18. Lebensjahr eine vorzügliche Ausbildung in Französisch, Latein, Griechisch, Italienisch, Spanisch und Portugiesisch sowie in Philosophie, Jura, Physik und Literatur. (Einer bereits frühzeitig einsetzenden Legendenbildung zufolge soll der nur drei Jahre ältere Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart sein Klavierlehrer gewesen sein.) Mit 19 Jahren verliebte er sich in den zehnjährigen William Courtenay , den späteren Earl of Devon , der damals als schönster Junge Englands galt - eine Affäre, die nach ihrer Entdeckung und einer Zeitungskampagne sechs Jahre darauf ein Ende fand; Züge von Courtenay flossen später in die Figur des Gulchenrouz im "Vathek" ein. Bereits nach dem Tod des Vaters 1770 hatte
