In this years "Journeys" issue, TIME magazine follows famed 14th century Moroccan traveller Ibn Battuta who set out on a journey that took him through what is today North and West Africa, southern and eastern Europe, the Middle East and part of Asia. His voyage was one of discovery, and it also introduced his countless hosts to the then Islamic world, which was highly opened, and pioneering in the areas of science, mathematics and art. Through stunning photography and suberb reporting, TIME’s Journeys issue will explore how and why the Islamic world — in the areas of politics, economics, art, architecture, society and culture — has changed, for better as well as worse. |
