Über mich
- Pierre Loti
- Constantinople, Ottoman Empire
- Under the pen name Pierre Loti, Frenchman Julien Viaud brought us the «zeitgeist» of Orientalism in literary form. His autobiographically inspired novels paint a romantic picture of the «mysterious» Orient and manifest a longing for the exotic. He loved Istanbul, his "Stamboul". A globetrotter by nature as well as by profession, Loti also paid return visits to Algeria and traveled in Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, India, Oman and Persia, writing books about many of those places. He wrote that those reading his books might suspect him of «partiality for Muslim countries» and admitted he had always felt he had a «half-Arab soul.» Was Loti just a raving romantic, living blindly in a past that suited him better than his own time? The answer depends upon whom you consult. Pierre Loti Design® (Damascus - Istanbul- Prizren)is using this historical figure as a Symbol of Oriental Feeling with a European touch!
