Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an assembly of 150 to 200 letters written by a spy living in Paris during the 1600s and sent to various dignitaries of the Ottoman Empire. The letters go into great detail about a variety of issues, including the political climate of France during a time of transition in the monarchy, a detailed account of a plague in Muscovy, and a critique of the Catholic Church from the perspective of a Muslim observer. The author's unique position as an outsider allows him to provide insights into the religious and cultural differences between Europe and the Ottoman Empire. These letters have been translated from Arabic and provide a unique window into the past that should appeal to fans of history, politics, and religion.
