Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative grapples with the challenge of authentically depicting Eastern cultures and the historical context of the Crusades. The author reflects on the difficulty of capturing a vivid portrayal of a world unfamiliar to him, relying instead on memories influenced by classic tales like "Arabian Nights." He acknowledges the growing interest in travel among his contemporaries, who have firsthand experience of places like Greece and Palestine, making it essential to avoid inaccuracies in representing the customs and manners of the East.
