The Western Shores of Turkey

Rezensionen / Stimmen

John Freely's enchanting guide to the western shores of Turkey...is a work of genuine scholarship...charmingly conveyed...I fell in love with the book and stayed enamoured until the final page. The Western Shores of Turkey will accompany me when I revisit Anatolia...The book exhibits a profound affection for the Turks and their language and culture. * The Sunday Times * The knowledge and experience which [John Freely] has compressed into his book make it remarkably authoritative and comprehensive...the record of a journey undertaken by a man effortlessly able to convey in depth the meaning of what he sees. * The Scotsman * John Freely, in this highly informative book, aims to provide an informal guide to the archaeological sites and historical monuments of this beautiful part of Asia Minor...and to evoke the spirit of these places for those who are embarking upon their own odysseys...he succeeds admirably in both. * Going Places * With modern map and classical atlas to hand he makes his way along the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, skilfully merging past and present as he visits scores of ancient sites...and provides detailed plans and useful appendices for like-minded travellers. * Church Times * John Freely...is the perfect guide to the fabled cities of Turkey's epic past. An essential book for all visitors to Western Turkey. * Publishing News *
