This book is a vivid photographic record of daily life in Istanbul
from the 1940s to the 1980s. Captured through the unerring lens of
the award winning Ara Guler, the 'Eye of Istanbul', it reflects the
city's melancholy aesthetic as it oscillates between tradition and
modernity. Guler's remarkable duotone photographs are accompanied
by evocative commentaries from Orhan Pamuk, another leading figure
in Turkish culture. Both writer and photographer each held in their
youth the ambition of becoming a painter. Here, each in his own way
paints a brushless picture of his hometown and captures, through
image and word, its very soul.
