"Travels into Turkey" by Ogier Ghislain de Busbecq is a historical account written in the mid-16th century. This work provides a detailed chronicle of the author's experiences and observations during his travels through the Ottoman Empire, focusing particularly on the customs, politics, and societies of the Turks and neighboring nations. At the start of the narrative, Busbecq relates his preparations and anticipation for a journey to Constantinople and Amasia as an ambassador for the Emperor Ferdinand. He reflects on his former experiences and conversations with Malvezius, a predecessor who succumbed to illness, and details the political intricacies surrounding his own appointment. As Busbecq sets out, he vividly describes his encounters with Turkish officials, providing insights into the social customs and political structures of the time, while his tone remains both personal and observant, blending anecdotal storytelling with keen observations of the cultural landscape he traverses.

Reading ease score: 57.8 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
