Reviews
Through a series of seven essays told in the form of journal entries, Ray introduces the reader to his impressions of Turkey both as a young man and then later in his life. Ray first visited the country at the age of 22, when he left the U.S. for France and then traveled through Turkey on his way to Tibet. After that trip he focused his life on intense academic study for six years, which led to a career working with the Middle East. His subsequent visits to Turkey occurred from 2014??16, when he traveled to various regions including Central Anatolia and the Black Sea Coast. Through his approach to travel it is clear that Ray has the spirit of a wanderer; he is not content to just be a tourist. Ray's extensive academic background (including a PhD and a master's in international affairs from the Fletcher School) contributes to a more layered understanding of Turkey's economic and political climate as well as its culture and history.|9781623719302|
Synopsis
Nicholas Dylan Ray grew up next to a US national park, whose mountains and forests he explored to escape his troubled home. As a young man, he left the United States, and aged twenty-two set out on a six-month journey from France to Tibet, traveling through Turkey. That journey forms the first chapter of this book, and led to a career working with the Middle East. In middle age, the author returned to the road, traveling throughout Turkey. In the six subsequent chapters, one for each journey, he recounts his adventures, discusses the archaeology and history of the places visited, and the people met along the way. In Konya he is transported by the beauty of an Arabic quotation from the Qur'an inscribed on Rumi's tomb. In Istanbul, among Syrian refugees, he considers the concept of charity in Islam. In Antalya, just after the ISIS terrorist attack in his adopted country of France, he analyses the textual foundations of jihadism in Islamic law. Within earshot of the shelling in Syria, he contemplates genocide, and climbs Musa Dagh mountain, the last redoubt of the Armenians who fought the Ottoman troops in 1915. In the coastal region of the Black Sea, he examines the monastic urge in religion and experiments with fasting during Ramadan. And finally, on the northwestern Mediterranean coast, he visits two battlefields, Troy and Gallipoli, before returning to Istanbul for a last visit to Sultanahmet, the center of the Islamic world for five centuries. During these wanderings Nicholas Dylan Ray shares with the reader his deep knowledge of Islamic religion, culture, and history, discussing the foundational texts and their role in current events in the Middle East. He also takes note of those who have traveled these lands before him and reflects on the mixed experience of travel itself., Nicholas Dylan Ray grew up next to a US national park, whose mountains and forests he explored to escape his troubled home.
