More about the book

This work offers an in-depth analysis of Persian travel accounts from 1400 to 1800, illuminating the cultural exchanges between India, Iran, and Central Asia during a transformative era. By examining the safar nama genre, the authors reveal the perspectives of both Muslim and non-Muslim literati, providing insights into their mental and moral landscapes. The comparative approach, juxtaposing these narratives with Asian and early modern European accounts, enriches our understanding of cultural history and early modern interactions, making it both educational and engaging.
