Zusatztext I had De Amicis's text ready when I came to Istanbul. For he had seen what I cannot see today. Informationen zum Autor The poet, novelist and travel writer Edmondo de Amicis (1846-1908) began his career as a soldier, before switching to journalism. He is now best remembered for his collection of children's stories Heart of a Boy. Klappentext 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. Zusammenfassung 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.
