This book, available for the first time in English, is an
exhilarating journey through Turkey s history and a perceptive look
at the interactions between secularism, religion, and
multiethnicity. Without a guide and driven only by his own
curiosity, Klaus Reichert travels to Anatolia, Istanbul, and the
Aegean coast. He explores the strip of land where Adam and Eve are
said to have settled after their expulsion from the Garden of Eden,
and where Moses struck water from stone. While following in the
footsteps of the brilliant architect Mimar Sinan and investigating
the mysteries of his mosques, Reichert speaks to an old stonemason
and a young teacher, visits one of the last remaining colonies of a
rare breed of ibis, and walks the wide expanses surrounding the
archaeological sites of western Turkey. Finally, he draws parallels
between Kilim weaving, minimal music, and modernity as a whole.
Under Reichert s gaze, what is seen and learned becomes a colorful
and provocative collection of images and patterns.A one-of-a-kind
travelogue that touches on Turkey s traditions, natural history,
and political divisions, "Turkey Rediscovered" shows us a new side
to a land we thought we already knew. "
