Kitap Tanıtımı |
John Freely is to Istanbul what Augustus Hare was to Rome in the nineteenth century. For forty-three years he has known, explored, loved and illuminated his adopted city.
To walk the streets, to climb the hills, to visit the mosques, palaces and remains of Istanbul with Freely is to learn first-hand the multi-faceted history of the New Rome, and of the Turkish imperial capital that succeeded it. He knows every nook and cranny, knows who lived where and when, and knows the people who live there now. |
