A self-professed lover of the East and of Islam, Pickthall's curiosity drove him to take lodgings with an expat English woman who had adopted a Turkish way of living. During his stay, Pickthall spoke with Turks, Greeks, Armenians and foreigners about politics, religion, gender and war. In \u003cem\u003eWith the Turk in Wartime\u003c\/em\u003e, Pickthall draws on vivid descriptions of Turkish scenes, impassioned political discussions and humorous incidents arising from cultural differences, and explores the role of foreign powers in Turkey and the fate of a people he holds dear. Infused with the author's kind-hearted and openminded sensibility, this travel journal is sure to inform and delight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marmaduke Pickthall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1905837585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781905837588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Claritas Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.46d","brand":"Marmaduke Pickthall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46961950327039,"sku":"9781905837588","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_234643e4-f604-40dc-9394-05e62f031bf6.jpg?v=1750648868","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/with-the-turk-in-wartime-marmaduke-pickthall-9781905837588","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
