Istanbul by Thomas F Madden
From its ancient past to the present, we meet the city through its citizens - the Jews, Muslims, Italians, Greeks, and Russians who used the famous baths and walked the bazaars - and the rulers who built it up and then destroyed it. Thomas Madden's entertaining narrative brings to life the city we see today, including the rich splendour of the churches and monasteries that spread throughout the city. Istanbul draws on a lifetime of study and the latest scholarship, transporting readers to a city of unparalleled importance and majesty that holds the key to understanding modern civilisation.Thomas F.Madden is a history professor at Saint Louis University in Missouri, where he also serves as the director of the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. He is the author of The New Concise History of the Crusades, Enrico Dandolo and the Development of Venice, The Fourth Crusade, and Empires of Trust. He was designated a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellow in 2012.
