A Mosaic of Misunderstanding: Occident, Orient, and Facets of Mutual Misconstrual

By Julia Szotysek and Julia Szoltysek

The book investigates relations between the 'East' and 'West' from the Enlightenment until the present times. On the basis of a selection of American, British and Turkish literature, Orientalist painting, and Western opera works, the study proposes an innovative, more nuanced reading of post/colonial phenomena and their socio-cultural implications.
