This book is a biographical and illustrated account of the life of
Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, a French national who traveled extensively
for almost forty years of his life-travels that took him to most of
the European countries, to the Ottoman Empire, to Persia, to
Southeast Asia, and to India. This writer cannot think of any other
personality, at any time in history, who wandered around for so
long and for so far. Tavernier has a number of achievements to his
credit-achievements of having written extensively on the areas he
traveled, the people he met, and the diverse activities he pursued.
His memoirs became a blockbuster in the seventeenth century,
outshining any other publication of the time-even of those who were
known to be heavy with ideas.
