QR code
"Zágoni Mikes Kelemen törökországi levelei (1. kötet)" by Kelemen Mikes is a collection of 207 fictional letters written between 1717 and 1758. Composed during his Turkish exile following the Rákóczi independence war's failure, Mikes addressed these letters to an invented countess living near Constantinople. The letters chronicle the daily lives of exiles, reflect the author's emotional fluctuations, and include historical anecdotes. They blend descriptions of Ottoman customs with personal reflections, evolving from
hopeful expectations of return to resigned acceptance of fate, all expressed through conversational elegance and gentle humor. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
