Fascination with the East has become, over the centuries, one of the most powerful forces in Western literature. From the first journeys of discovery from Europe after the twilight of the Middle Ages, the legends and myths of the East, as well as its history and heritage, have occupied both explorers and writers. This book is an anthology of such writing. It includes extracts from travel writers, many long out of print, as well as a selection of works inspired by the East' witten by people who have never set foot there, but have nevertheless felt its magnetism. Romanytic poetry, letters home, acute and willy observations, fiction and true life adventures, here is a comprehensive collection of literature from eight centuries inspired by a single, seemingly inexhaustible source. Ref NNN 7.
