From Thracian borders with Bulgaria to a sparkling Aegean coast, Julian Sayarer cycles across Anatolian hills towards the Black Sea, Kurdish southeast and the Armenian frontiers. W hereas books on Türkiye - renamed on the eve of its first century - often root themselves in history, romanticism, religion or civilisational terms, Sayarer brings to life this living, breathing community of peoples and place at the meeting point of Asia, Africa and Europe; a mid-point not only of East and West, but of all the unfurled globe. The result is a love letter to a country and its neighbours, but one that gives a clear-eyed view of Türkiye and its place in a changing world. Show more
