Published in 1861, this work in the third person, dictated by
Joseph Wolff (1795-1862) to friends, is an epic miscellany of
stories. Wolff, the son of a rabbi, had a peripatetic Middle
European childhood. He converted to Christianity in 1812, studying
Near Eastern languages in Vienna and Tubingen, and theology in Rome
- until he was expelled by the Inquisition for heretical views. He
eventually moved to England, working for the London Society for
Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. Beginning his mission in
the Middle East, he later travelled to Afghanistan, Ethiopia,
India, and the United States, where he preached to Congress. His
eventful career saw him variously shipwrecked, enslaved, and forced
to walk without clothes for 600 miles following a robbery. In 1847
he settled more quietly in a Somerset vicarage. Though
characteristically orientalist (and with possible embellishments),
this work remains an invigorating depiction of a lifetime's
adventure.
