The book is divided into three parts, each covering a different aspect of the region. The first part is a descriptive account of the region’s geography, climate, flora, and fauna. The second part delves into the history of Asia Minor, from its ancient civilizations to its Ottoman past. The third part is a collection of picturesque sketches of the people, customs, and traditions of the region. Azhderian’s writing is highly descriptive and engaging, transporting readers to the exotic and mysterious world of Asia Minor. He provides a detailed account of the region’s diverse landscapes, from rugged mountains to lush valleys, and describes the unique flora and fauna that inhabit them. The historical section of the book is equally fascinating, covering the rise and fall of ancient civilizations such as the Hittites and the Persians, as well as the Ottoman Empire’s influence on the region.

The final section of the book is a collection of colorful sketches of the people and customs of Asia Minor.
