About this product
Product Information
In 1671, Ambrosio Bembo, a young nobleman bored with everyday life in Venice, decided to broaden his knowledge of the world through travel. That August he set off on a remarkable, occasionally hazardous, four-year voyage to Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and the Portuguese colonies of west India. His journal, now translated into English for the first time, is the most important new European travel account of Western Asia to be published in the past hundred years. It opens an extraordinary perspective on the Near East and India at a time when few Europeans traveled to these lands. Keenly observed and engagingly written, Bembo's vivid account is filled with a high sense of adventure and curiosity and provides intriguing descriptions of people, landscapes, food, fashion, architecture, customs, cities, commerce, and more. Presented here with the original illustrations created by G.J. GrÉlot, a French artist who traveled with Bembo during much of the trip, and with a rich introduction and annotations, this lively and important historical document is at last available to scholars, students, and armchair travelers alike.
