Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

This is a remarkable nineteenth-century account of Constantinople - which begins with a dazzling description of the city gradually appearing through the fog as the author's ship approaches through the harbour. Edmondo de Amicis' narrative expertly combines personal anecdote, breathtaking visual observation and entertaining historical information. This is an invaluable record of the Constantinople 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.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
