Product Description
This ancient city, where the first settlements date back 8,000 years, and which served as the political, economic, and cultural capital of the Eastern Mediterranean for 1,600 uninterrupted years, is detailed in a 600-page book...
In Doğan Kuban's "Istanbul: A City History," compiled over decades of research, the new edition features over 370 photographs, engravings, plans, maps, drawings, and documents, offering a fascinating and colorful journey into the past:
What unique geographical features of this place attracted its first prehistoric inhabitants? Why did Roman emperors choose to build and develop their new and natural capital here? How did Paganism, Christianity, and Islam influence the shaping of the city in different periods? What did the Latin occupation take away from the city, and what did it leave behind? While many parts of the city were destroyed or rebuilt throughout history, which elements remained almost unchanged? Over 27 centuries, how far did the city's borders expand, and when did they reach their peak? What were the negative problems Istanbul faced due to population growth and water scarcity? Besides emperors, commanders, and scholars, who were the other people who lived in the city?
Did the old Ottoman Istanbul disappear into history in the 20th century, or earlier? How was Istanbul affected as the world changed in the 20th century?
"Istanbul: A City History" answers these and many more questions with a long and colorful narrative penned by a master writer. Perfect for your foreign friends who are fluent in English…
