The Bondage and Travels of Johann Schiltberger: A firsthand journey of a Slave
Turks and Tatars" is the Turkish translation of Johann Schilt Berger's 15th-century account of his captivity and travels. The book tells of the years he spent in the Ottoman and Timurid armies, the communities he encountered, his escape attempts, and his religious devotion. It’s a fascinating, almost fairy-tale-like story from both a historical and geographical perspective!
