SUMMARY
The history of the city where East meets West spans 28 centuries. Drawing on diaries, letters, memoirs, histories, and novels from the sixth-century A.D. onwards, this inspiring anthology recreates the vanished glories of the city, and includes: coronation of a Byzantine emperor; funeral of a sultan; triumphal entry of Mehmet the Conqueror; building of the Suleymaniye, the most magnificent of the city's mosques; harems of the sixteenth century; death of Ataturk in 1938; Byzantine holy relics; Turkish baths and coffeehouses. All this and much more, vividly described in the words of those who were actually there.Kelly, Laurence is the author of 'Traveller's Companion To Istanbul', published 2004 under ISBN 9781566565745 and ISBN 156656574X.
