Infos

This book, published at the beginning of the 18th century, written in the then famous epistolary genre, was considered one of the most-read and popular of its time. The letters, addressed to the "men of letters," as the author specifies, reflect the impressions on trips around Europe, Asia, and Africa. Special attention is given to the policy and manners of Turks. The author hints that the information she collected about these people was received from sources not available to other travelers.
