Originally published in 2007, this fascinating work is based on
detailed and sensitive readings of travel accounts in Persian,
dealing with India, Iran and Central Asia between around 1400 and
1800. The first comprehensive treatment of this neglected genre of
literature (safar nama), it links the Mughals, Safavids and Central
Asia in a crucial period of transformation and cultural contact.
The authors' close reading of these travel accounts help us enter
the mental and moral worlds of the Muslim and non-Muslim literati
who produced these valuable narratives. These accounts are
presented in a comparative framework, which sets them side by side
with other Asian accounts, as well as early modern European travel
narratives, and opens up a rich and unsuspected vista of cultural
and material history. This book can be read for a better
understanding of the nature of early modern encounters, but also
for the sheer pleasure of entering a new world.
