An Ottoman Traveller: Selections from the Book of Travels of Evliya Celebi

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.
