This microhistory of the Salvagos―an Istanbul family of Venetian interpreters and spies travelling the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Mediterranean―is a remarkable feat of the historian’s craft of storytelling. With his father having been killed by secret order of Venice and his nephew to be publicly assassinated by Ottoman authorities, Genesino Salvago and his brothers started writing self-narratives.
