Istanbul: A Cultural History by Peter Clark
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.
'It is now difficult to think of visiting Istanbul without this book as your companion with all the guidance it offers at so many different levelsTo his learning and his easy writing style, Peter Clark brings a quirky curiosity that adds delight.' --New Horizons
Peter Clark has known the city since the early 1960s and is a regular visitor. He is a writer, translator and consultant and worked for the British Council, mostly in Arab countries, for thirty years.
