Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book captures the spirit of pre-1600 European travel, which was still an undertaking reserved only for the wealthy and brave. The author draws on records penned by actual tourists of the time, from budding diplomats to fleeing religious minorities and even a calculating organ-builder who found himself on a diplomatic mission to the sultan's court. The collective stories of these intrepid voyagers paint a vivid and uniquely personal portrait of an era when explorers were just beginning to return to Europe with tales of strange and distant lands. This book shows that the spirit of exploration was not limited to the famous; countless others were swept up by the changes in European society that made wandering both possible and fashionable.
