"Zágoni Mikes Kelemen törökországi levelei (1. kötet)" by Kelemen Mikes is a collection of letters written during the early 18th century. The book comprises correspondences that detail the author's journey and experiences in the Ottoman Empire, showcasing his observations and reflections on the culture and society he encounters. The letters are directed to his beloved aunt, offering a personal glimpse into the trials and tribulations of life as an expatriate in a foreign land. The opening of the work introduces us to Kelemen Mikes as he writes to his aunt about his journey from France to Gallipoli, navigating tumultuous seas and his subsequent arrival in Turkey. He shares his initial observations about the unfamiliar culture, his health issues, and his hope for frequent correspondence with his aunt. Describing both the scenic beauty and logistical challenges, Mikes provides a vivid account of his perspective on foreign customs, hospitality, and the socio-political landscape he finds himself amidst, setting the tone for a series of reflections on identity, belonging, and the human experience in a different world.
