Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of observations that capture the sights and sounds of 19th century Constantinople. The author, who spent a combined decade living in Turkey, returns after a period of absence to find that while much has remained the same, some things have changed. The book blends the old and the new, reflecting on timeless aspects of Constantinople alongside modern innovations such as gas lighting and street names. The author also presents a richly woven tapestry of portraits of people from all walks of life in this vibrant and diverse city, from humble street vendors to powerful pashas. Constantinople emerges in the pages as a crucible where East and West meet and mingle, a city of contrasts that is both timeless and ever-changing. Through the eyes of the author, readers will gain a deep appreciation for the city's historical and cultural depth, its bustling markets, and the sights, sounds, and smells of everyday life on the storied shores of the Bosphorus.
