Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

The journey described in this volume extended altogether to about 1300 miles on foot, and occupied five months; and the days spent in actual travel upon the road were fifty-four. Asia Minor has been traversed from end to end, and sea to sea, by many Europeans in the past; American missionaries, too, not only men, but unattended women, go freely about the country as a matter of course, and often cover long distances. There must be, indeed, many worse regions for journeying in than Turkey-in-A sia. But all these travellers have gone by araba or ridden on horseback, and, when possible, have been glad enough to use train, and bicycle, and even motor-car. None of them, I think, has ever attempted to go in the peasant manner, to follow road or track afoot, to sleep in the poorest khans or wherever shelter could be found, and to mix by day and night with the varied and doubtful pedestrian company of an Eastern highway. To see something of Asia Minor in this more intimate fashion, accompanied only by a Turk, was the purpose of the journey now to be described. Only in the quality of adventure did realisation fall short of what might have been expected.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a captivating journey through Asia Minor in the early 20th century. The author, an Englishman, embarks on a unique adventure: traversing the vast region on foot, experiencing the country's diverse landscapes and its people firsthand. He travels by araba, a covered wagon, and on foot, following the bustling Bagdad Road and venturing off the beaten path onto mountain tracks, always seeking out the heart of the region's hidden stories and ancient mysteries. The author's meticulous observations capture the region's vibrant tapestry of life. He vividly describes the people of Asia Minor, their customs, and their anxieties in the face of shifting political tides. The reader experiences the rich culture of the region as the author encounters caravans, bustling bazaars, and ancient ruins. Through the author's encounters with Ottoman Greeks, Armenians, and Turks, the book sheds light on the complexities of a region on the cusp of change, grappling with the shadow of a growing Russian presence and the allure of its own past. The author's keen eye for detail and his ability to draw connections between the past and present make this book a timeless chronicle of a fascinating and enduring place. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
