Eskişehir, Ankara, Konya, Adana Ve Tel-Aviv Seyahatnamesi-Dorothy Mills [Dorothy Rachael Melissa Mills (Walpole)], Beyond the Bosphorus, Little, Brown and Company, Boston, 1926. 224 s, başlık s önünde 1 levha (yazarın portresi), metin dışındaki 23 levhada 34 fotoğraf, 22.5 x 14.5 cm, yayıncısının bez cildinde. Dorothy Mills (1889-1959) Anadolu’da Ankara (s 17-36), Eskişehir, Konya ve Adana’da gördüklerini objektif, gerçekçi ve acı bir dille anlatır. Daha sonra Suriye, Kudüs, kuzey ve güney Filistin, Tel Aviv, Ürdün, Irak çölleri ve Musul’u gezmiş buralarda gördüklerini de yakın tarih, politik olaylar, kültürel yaşam gibi konular ve yorumlarla zenginleştirerek anlatmaktadır. Bu arada Suriye’nin kentleri, şeytana tapanlar ve Hristiyanların durumunu da bağımsız başlıklar altında inceler.
The authoress here leads us to new and strange adventures in Angora, Syria, Palestine, and Iraq. The prelude tells of a beginning by no means auspicious, but introduces us to a spirit which, rising above all discomforts some practically self-inflictedconducts the writer to the opening scene in Anatolia. Here her greatest adventure was her being privileged to witness from a balcony of the Forum the sitting of the National Assembly of the now hatted and beardless Turks. The " Drama of the Taurus," the best-told romance of the book, concerns a Russian ex-Prince turned hermit in the mountains of Asia Minor. Of Adana there is little good said ; visits there going and returning appear to have been equally uncomfortable for a woman travelling all alone. The Holy Land," which occupies the largest section of the book, has been so much described recently that it must be difficult to write anything new, but the very full account given here of Lord Balfour's visit last year to Palestine is of genuine interest. " It was a theatrical coup d'itat that to the Jew of Palestine crystallized and made tangible the half-baked dreams of centuries." The greatest day that Jerusalem has known since Solomon laid the foundation stone of the temple," were words uttered in the author's hearing by a highly educated and cosmopolitan Jew, that famous first of April. Regarding the Dead Sea the writer exercises a great deal of morbid fancy, and finds on the road to Es Salt much exaggerated peril. On the other hand, Across the desert to Iraq " is a narrarive, racily told, of real excitement. Indeed, it is for its adventures and thrilling incidents rather than its sober facts that the book can be recommended.
Lady Dorothy Mills ise Ankara’yı 1926 yılında ziyaret etmiş, dönemin Ankara’sı hakkında son derece ilginç bilgiler vermiştir.
