Across the Ottoman World

Get your hiking boots.
At one point, the Ottoman Empire stretched from Switzerland to Yemen and from Georgia to Algeria. Haluk Dursun crosses all of that ground with a pen and a camera, taking the reader along for the ride. A photograph on nearly every page and a glossy, full-color map in every book, Dursun makes you feel the miles you are covering as you travel around to the far corners and innermost regions of the former Ottoman Empire. Trekking all over Europe, the Balkans, Anatolia, the Caucasus, the Middle East and Africa will prove the adventure of a lifetime.
