"The Rise of Oriental Travel" follows four Seventeenth-century
Englishmen on their journeys around the Ottoman Empire while it was
still expanding westward and the British were, for the first time
in history, becoming important players in the Mediterranean.
Contrary to the hostile declamations of Protestant preachers, they
all found much to admire, from the multi-culturalism of the Ottoman
system to the food, weather and styles of life. This book shows
that hostility between East and West is neither historical nor
inevitable, but rather the result of selective memory.
