Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This travelogue recounts the experiences of a young British traveler making his first visit to Turkey. The author is fascinated by Constantinople (present-day Istanbul), particularly its rich mix of religions, cultures, and architectural history. He shares his observations on the city's inhabitants, including the huge population of stray dogs that roam the streets, governed by their own set of rules and hierarchies. The author notes the challenges faced by travelers due to cultural and linguistic differences, and the frustrations of dealing with customs officials. However, he also highlights the exotic charms and historical significance of the city, finding himself repeatedly drawn back to explore its diverse neighborhoods and vibrant atmosphere. Through vivid descriptions and insightful observations, the author paints a compelling picture of a city where ancient traditions coexist with modern influences. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332486632_0
