Three Oriental Tales: History of Nourjahad, Vathek, The Giaour
I had read everything but Byron's "The Gaiour" a few years back -- that work is so perfectly archetypal that it felt I'd read it before as well.
Fascinating look into the strange imaginings of Romantic era Europeans towards the rest of the world. Beautiful, febrile, completely about the teller and not the told.
