A remarkable nineteenth-century account of Istanbul - which begins
with a dazzling description of the city gradually appearing through
the fog as the author's ship approaches the harbour -
Constantinople expertly combines personal anecdote, breathtaking
visual observation and entertaining historical information. An
invaluable record of the metropolis as it used to be - a
fascinating crossroads between Eastern and Western civilization and
one of the most cosmopolitan cities of its time - as well as a
vivid example of a European tourist's reaction to it - part
delight, part incomprehension - this book will provide an enriching
read for lovers of history or those planning to visit Istanbul
themselves.
