As a correspondent, scientist, writer and diplomat, Anton Prokesch von Osten tried for more than four decades to get the people of the Ottoman Empire, their mentality and their culture, heard in the West. In his biography, Daniel Bertsch opens up connections with the political, scientific-historical and religious-historical events of the 19th century.
