Description
Turkey Rediscovered: A Land between Tradition and Modernity Klaus Reichert's journey through Turkey is an exhilarating exploration of history, culture, and identity. Without a guide, he travels to Anatolia, Istanbul, and the Aegean coast, uncovering the secrets of a land that has been shaped by multiple influences. From the strip of land where Adam and Eve are said to have settled after their expulsion from the Garden of Eden, to the wide expanses surrounding western Turkey's archaeological sites, Reichert draws parallels between Kilim weaving, minimal music, and modernity. Along the way, he speaks to ordinary people, such as an old stonemason and a young teacher, gaining insight into the complexities of Turkish society. This unique travelogue offers a fresh perspective on a land that is often misunderstood. With its colorful and provocative collection of images and patterns, Turkey Rediscovered shows us a new side to a country we thought we already knew.
