The Bosphorus - the strait which separates European and Asian Turkey - is one of the world's most beautiful and romantic waterways, eulogized by Byron and many other travellers. Here Eastern and Western cultures meet in the architecture of houses and palaces built along its shores by generations of Ottoman families and sultans. The extraordinary Topkapi Palace dominates the skyline, but amongst the most striking buildings are the yalis, huge wooden mansions built between the late 17th and 19th centuries. Later sultans built imposing palaces in the Baroque style, and many summer embassies, including the beautiful art-nouveau Egyptian embassy, were created along the Bosphorus in the 19th century. This book documents both the architectural and social history of these magnificent houses and palaces.

hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
