The first and only Ottoman Turkish edition of Loti's first-hand account of Japan. It includes his travel memoirs from 1885 when he sailed aboard the French frigate "Triomphante" and stayed in Nagasaki followed by port calls in Kobe and Yokohama. This visit to Japan resulted in two works that once again hover between narrative and travelogue: "Madame Chrysanthème" Madam Okiku 1887 and "Japoneries d'Automne" Autumn Japaneries 1889.

As a naval officer he visited many countries around the world and wrote exotic novels and travelogues based on his experiences. In 1879 he published his first novel "Aziyadé" also known as "Constantinople" followed by "Le Mariage de Loti" 1880 and "Le Roman d'un spahi" 1881. Özege 9762.
