About This Book

Matkakertomus seuraa laajaa retkeä Kaukaasiasta Persian ja Mesopotamian halki, kulkien Bakun ja Apsheronin rannikolta Kaspianmeren yli Elburs-vuorten kautta Teheraniin, Ispahaniin, Shiraziin ja muinaisten muistomerkkien, kuten Persepoliksen ja Kyyron haudan, luo, jatkaen Persianlahden rannoille, Basraan, Tigris-joelle, Bagdadiin ja karavaanireiteille sekä palaten Kaspianilta Mustallemerelle ja Konstantinopoliin. Teksti yhdistää maisema- ja arkeologiset kuvaukset käsityön, kaupan ja nafta-teollisuuden huomioihin sekä yksityiskohtaisiin havaintoihin kaupunkielämästä, heimoista, kielestä, uskonnosta, laeista, kansanperinteistä ja matkustamisen käytännöistä sekä modernisaation ensimmäisistä merkeistä.
