The dawn of the 20th century changed the world irreversibly. In those days, the two sick men of the East, the Ottoman Empire and Chinas Qing Dynasty, were each facing a major crisis. Kang Youwei, a prominent Chinese philosopher and reformer, arrived in the Ottoman capital in 1908. His work reflects how the Ottoman Empire was viewed from a Chinese philosophers inimitable perspective. This book comprises a full translation of Kang Youweis unique travelogue of the Ottoman Empire during the Young Turk Revolution of 1908.
