Englantilainen lady ja suurlähettilään vaimo Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762) matkusti miehensä mukana 1700-luvun alkupuoliskolla salaperäiseen Konstantinopoliin. Matka kulki vanhan Euroopan ja levottoman Ottomaani-imperiumin taipaleiden halki, ja kirjeissään Lady Montagu kietoutuu Budan kylpylöiden höyryyn, sotkeutuu janitsaarien juoniin, kulkee loistavien palatsien mittaamattomia käytäviä ja haaveilee hunnutettujen naisten kanssa. Elämänmenoa Kultaisessa sarvessa on ystäville ja ylimyksille lähetetyistä kirjeistä koottu vilpitön ja suora selonteko elämästä Osmanien valtakunnassa. "Turkkilaisten elämänkatsanto on varsin oikeanlainen: he käyttävät tarmoaan musiikkiin, puutarhoihin, viiniin ja hienoihin ruokiin, kun me taas kiusaamme aivoparkojamme poliittisilla juonilla tai opiskelemalla tieteitä, joista emme milloinkaan pääse perille, ja jos pääsemmekin, emme onnistu vakuuttamaan ihmisille, että niillä on sellainen arvo kuin itse otaksumme."
