150 years ago the Xanthian marbles caused a considerable stir on their arrival at the British Museum. This book follows the journey of 'the celebrated classic traveller' Charles Fellows who collected the Lycian marbles from Asia Minor, and looks at the events that led to the dispatch of two expeditions to Xanthia. The volume is illustrated by the many sketches made by Fellows and by his accompnying artist, George Scharf junior, who later became the founding Director of the National Portrait Gallery. Not only an historical study, this is also an unusual travel guide to western Turkey.

Like talking to an old friend, Brosnahan writes enthusiastically about first discovering Turkey as a Peace Core volunteer in the summer of 1967, fresh out of Tufts University with a degree in History. He lands in Istanbul and immediately gives a casual description of all he sees. So much has changed (the prices, the Summer of Love, the fishing towns), but so much remains the same. He applies for grants in the summers off from teaching in Izmir and ends up writing the first "Frommer's $10-$15 a Day Guide to Turkey." With him you travel to most towns in Turkey. You get to know his friends, his haunts in the Grand Bazaar, trips with his friends into the Taurus mountains. A reassuring book to read while traveling in Turkey.
