I’m about halfway through and for me this book benefits from a second, more close reading.
At the moment I have the feeling that I’m listening to some inner dialogue, rather than the interaction of two different men. What is the name of the Venetian young man?
I find the part about the interpretation of dreams interesting; remember that this is the age before the psychoanalysis and the great work on dreams of Sigmund Freund 'Die Traumdeutung' (the interpretation of dreams).
Also I am looking into the history of Italy and the Ottoman Empire. Both were a force to be reckoned with in the 17th century, but the Ottoman Empire more so than Italy.
