Istanbul - A Cultural and Literary History

Summary

With its location as a port, Istanbul has always absorbed ideas, people and styles from north, south, east and west. Here the author looks at some of the representative personalities of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires and argues that these states had more in common than ideology-driven accounts may suggest.
