Composed during his Turkish exile following the Rákóczi independence war's failure, Mikes addressed these letters to an invented countess living near Constantinople.

They blend descriptions of Ottoman customs with personal reflections, evolving from hopeful expectations of return to resigned acceptance of fate, all expressed through conversational elegance and gentle humor.
