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.
