Book excerpt: Surviving a lightning strike, sleeping with deadly scorpions and snakes, crossing a volcano, or having an audience with Lady Desta and her thirty slaves, the English agent Ármin Vámbéry, or sultans and emperors. These were all in a day's work for Azmzâde Sadık el-Müeyyed, an Ottoman officer, statesman, and truly a renaissance man. 'The Ethiopia Book of Travels' takes you to June 1904 to accompany Sadık Pasha on a mission for Sultan Abdulhamid II to go before Emperor Menelik II, the ruler of Ethiopia. One of three missions to Africa by Sadık Pasha to counter the scramble for Africa by West European powers, this volume is a companion to 'Journey in the African Grand Sahara and Through Time'. I hope you enjoy the journey.
