One of the fascinating aspects of this 17th century travelogue is that the 12-year voyage of Pietro Della Valle to the Near East and beyond is today impossible to carry out by the ordinary tourist. He passes through territories made inaccessible by present-day wars and hostilities. Della Valle appears to have traveled out of pure curiosity and delight in reporting what he saw and heard, but he is no fool and does not let himself be duped - he thinks - by magic and superstition.
