In 1913, four years before he converted to Islam and seventeen
years before he would publish his renowned translation of the
Quran, Marmaduke Pickthall journeyed to Turkey to investigate the
state of the country after the Ottoman coup d'etat earlier that
year. A self-professed lover of the East and of Islam, Pickthall's
curiosity drove him to take lodgings with an expat Englishwoman who
had adopted a Turkish way of living. During his stay Pickthall
spoke with Turks, Greeks, Americans and foreigners about politics,
religion, gender and war. In With the Turk in Wartime, Pickthall
draws on vivid descriptions of Turkish Scenes, impassioned
political discussions and humorous incidents arising from cultural
differences, and explores the role of foreign powers in Turkey and
the fate of a people he holds dear. Infused with the author's
kind-hearted and open-minded sensibility, this travel journal is
sure to inform and delight.
