The Eastern Question Tackled And Satisfactorily Disposed Of By Ally Sloper is a satirical book written by Charles Henry Ross in 1877. The book uses the fictional character of Ally Sloper, a popular comic strip character of the time, to comment on the political situation in the Ottoman Empire and the Balkans. The Eastern Question refers to the diplomatic and political problems that arose in the 19th century as a result of the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent power struggles in the Balkans. Ross uses humor and satire to criticize the political leaders of the time and their handling of the Eastern Question. Through the character of Ally Sloper, Ross offers a unique perspective on the issue, highlighting the absurdity of the situation and the incompetence of those in power. The book also includes illustrations by the popular cartoonist, Marie Duval.Overall, The Eastern Question Tackled And Satisfactorily Disposed Of By Ally Sloper is an entertaining and insightful commentary on a complex political issue. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the political and social climate of the late 19th century and the ways in which popular culture was used to comment on current events.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
