Download or read book Travels in India written by Jean-Baptiste Tavernier and published by . This book was released on 1889 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean-Baptiste Tavernier (1605-89) was one of the most renowned travelers of 17th century Europe. The son of a French Protestant who had fled Antwerp to escape religious persecution, Tavernier was a jewel merchant who between 1632 and 1668 made six voyages to the East. The countries he visited (most more than once) included present-day Cyprus, Malta, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. In 1676 he published his two-volume Les six voyages de Jean Baptiste Tavernier (The six voyages of Jean Baptiste Tavernier). An abridged and very imperfect English translation of the book appeared in 1677. The first modern scholarly edition in English, presented here, was published in 1889, with translation, notes, and a biographical sketch of Tavernier by Dr. Valentine Ball (1843-95), a British civil servant with the Indian Geological Service. Among the most memorable chapters in the book are those that recount Tavernier's visits to the diamond mines of India and his inspection of the jewels of the Great Mogul. Tavernier was not a scholar or an educated linguist, and after his initial popularity in the 17th century his authority waned, as historians and others questioned the accuracy of his observations. In the 20th century, however, Tavernier's reputation rose, as such important historians as Lucien Febvre and Fernand Braudel used the detailed information he recorded about the prices and qualities of goods and about business and commercial practices in their pioneering studies of economic and social history. The book contains several appendices by Ball about famous diamonds (including the historic Koh-i-Noor Diamond now belonging to the British royal family), diamond mines in India and Borneo, ruby mines in Burma, and sapphire washings in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). A fold-out map shows Tavernier's voyages in India and the mines he visited.

Download or read book Travel Tales Collections Turkey written by Michael Brein, Ph.D. and published by Michael Brein, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-01-07 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Brein’s Travel Tales Collection, Turkey 1, includes Michael’s own personal travel tales of the sorts of things that can happen to you in your travels in Turkey. Of course, Michael’s Turkey stories are fairly unique to him, but somewhat similar things may happen to you. To Michael, Turkey has been a paradox: On the one hand, he found the Turkish people to be among the most hospitable and kindest people in the world; on the other hand — as in other parts of the world — Turkey has its dangerous and dark side, too. Michael found that most of his travel experiences in Turkey were great, but he quickly learned to keep a wary eye towards the potential negative, which was, fortunately for him, atypical and rare. There are almost always unsettling, rare surprises that do pop up now and again in your travels. Michael hopes they don't happen to you. But if they do, hopefully, you're all the wiser for reading about them in these pages. The Travel Tales Collection, Turkey 1, features stories of incredible hospitality, love, despair, ignominy, war, and more. Whether you are just an armchair adventurer or are actually planning a trip to Turkey, Travel Tales Collection, Turkey 1 will provide you with many interesting and useful insights about the land and people of Turkey. The Travel Tales Collection, Turkey 1, is part of Michael Brein’s Collections travel tales series and contains among the best travel stories from Michael’s huge collection of travel tales that he has gathered in interviews with nearly 1,750 world travelers and adventurers during his four decades of travel to more than 125 countries throughout the world. Travel Tales Collections are groups of very interesting similar travel stories of a kind on a variety of very specific travel subjects, themes, or countries, such as close calls, great escapes, pickpocketing, scams, safety and security in travel, Paris, Morocco, Mexico, and so on. Eventually, several hundred Collections on all sorts of specific travel subjects, themes, and countries will be available on all the major eReaders. Future Collections and other ebooks will also include additional travel stories on Turkey.

Download or read book Records of Travels in Turkey Greece etc and of a Cruize in the Black Sea with the Capitan Pasha written by and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1832 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described by one commentator as 'a man of sterling common sense, intellectual rigour and ability', the distinguished naval officer Sir Adolphus Slade (1804-1877) was one of the best-informed and engaging travel writers of the nineteenth century. Later in his career he was to spend 17 years on secondment to the Turkish navy, heading its administration and improving its efficiency, but already in his twenties, having served in Russia and South America, he was keen to commit his observations of foreign lands to paper. First published in 1832, Slade's two-volume account of his travels in the Mediterranean and Turkey responded to the public's appetite for colourful chronicles. It contains descriptions of fashions, superstitions, dignitaries and despots, and covers topics ranging from antiquities and architecture to piracy and cricket. Volume 2 includes Slade's impressions of the Tartars, the Cossacks, the plague, Constantinople, and the habits of Muslim women.
