The book is an absorbing account of Ottoman provincial life, before the final demise of the Ottoman state. Written by a scholar, statesman, and old style imperialist, Curzon reflects on the harsh uplands of Ottoman Armenia. The virtues of tezek, the pitfalls of winter travel, trout fishing at Tortoum, as well as relations between local Armenians, Kurds and Turks are dwelt upon. The book is an exellent introduction to the geography, ethnography and politics of this turbulent region.
