An Ottoman traveller : selections from the Book of travels of Evliya Celebi
Evliya Celebi, 1611?-1682?2011
Book
Evliya Celebi was the Orhan Pamuk of the 17th century, the Pepys of the Ottoman world - a diligent, adventurous and honest recorder with a puckish wit and humour. He is in the pantheon of the great travel-writers of the world, though virtually unknown to western readers. This translation brings his sparkling work to life.
