Book weighs 1 lb., 4 oz.<p>CONDITION: Very Good book, sound and tight, in Very Good, price-clipped dust jacket.<p>Travel book by Charleston, West Virginia native, who later lived in Charlottesville, Virginia. Mary Lee Settle lived in Turkey from 1972 to 1974. This is the story of what she discovered and rediscovered.<p>"The author recounts her experiences living in Turkey for three years, and shares her observations on Turkish history, people, and culture."<p>"National Book Award winner Mary Lee Settle has long loved to explore new lands, old worlds, and unknown shores. In TURKISH REFLECTIONS she offers an intimate portrait of the one place in all travels that both charmed her spirit and captured her heart: Turkey, the happiest home she has ever known....From the wine-dark Homeric sea through the black virgin forests to the earthquake-scarred high saddleback of Anatolia, she takes us into an unfamiliar and unexpected world where every path evokes the past and every day the lively, intense present. We stroll through the mosques, museums, and markets of imperial Istanbul; snorkel among 4,000-year-old ship-wrecks, volcanic pinnacles, and underwater gardens; and share in the honesty, friendship, and fierce pride of a people whose instinct for revival and survival has overcome centuries of cruelty and violence."- From dust jacket.<p>"In an exotic, engaging journey deep into the heart of Turkey, Settle, who won a 1978 National Book Award for her novel Blood Tie (set in Turkey), revisits a country where past and present are everywhere intertwined. Contradicting the unflattering Western stereotypes of Turks, she depicts a people she admires for their capacity for friendship, their essential warmth and honesty. Istanbul, noisy and frantic, is also "as polite and friendly as a country village," and tough-skinned rural folk are "almost naively gentle" beneath their exterior harshness. Settle's hauntingly poetic evocation of a people and place is filled with moments of quiet rapture as she inspects the remains of ancient kingdoms, retraces the paths of Seljuk sultan Aladdin, dips in thermal baths and views mosques and churches, castles, sphinxes and the prison where Nazim Hikmet, Turkey's finest modern poet, was imprisoned for his work."- From "Publishers Weekly" review.<p>"Long neglected by tourists, Turkey has now become a popular destination and one that is inspiring some excellent travel writing. A country of rich layered history, much of which is still evident to the trained eye, it especially attracts those with antiquarian interests. This is a knowledgeable and affectionate portrait by an American novelist who has done her homework. Her visits, 15 years apart, enabled her to record, among other things, the impact that tourism is having on traditional cultures and landscapes. This thoughtful book deserves to be on any serious reading list on Turkey."- From "Library Journal" review by Harold M. Otness, Southern Oregon State College Library, Ashland. C.2..
