Jean-Baptiste Tavernier fut l'un des plus grands voyageurs du XVIIe siècle. Dans ce récit de ses six voyages en Orient, il nous fait découvrir les merveilles de l'Empire ottoman, de la Perse et de l'Inde moghole, à travers ses rencontres avec les princes, les marchands, les savants et les mystiques. Il décrit avec précision les coutumes, les paysages, les monuments et les animaux exotiques qu'il a rencontrés sur sa route. C'est un livre d'aventures et de découvertes inoubliables.
