Synopsis
Excerpt from A Ride Through Western Asia
One day, accompanied by an old Jew interpreter, I found my way to the great rambling police office in Stambul, where these tezkerehs are issued. Here after much struggling and pushing in one dirty room after another, each one full of Mussulman clerks writing on their laps and surrounded by clamouring Turks and Armenians, I managed to get a document with some Turkish characters on it, and the Sultan's signature lithographed at the top. This, the Jew told me, would take me to Angora, to which place there is a single line, and one train daily, the pace of which never exceeds sixteen miles an hour. Still it is quicker than either riding or driving. The chances were that I should be sent straight back to Constantinople from Angora, but I thought the attempt at getting further into the country from there worth making.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the author's journey through Western Asia in the late 19th Century. The author, an English officer, made the journey at a time of great political upheavals and religious tension. Against all odds, the author managed to obtain the necessary travel documents from the Ottoman authorities and set off from Constantinople. The narrative is a vivid account of the author's encounters with local people, his struggles to adapt to cultural differences, and the breathtaking landscapes he traversed. The author had an extraordinary ability to get to the heart of the countries he explored, and his book gives a unique insight into a part of the world that was largely unknown to Western readers at the time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330555187_0
