One of them is, of course, the world's biggest traveller Evliya Çelebi (1611-1682) The other one is the symbol of the conquest of Istanbul, the Hagia Sophia, which this traveller desciribed in his Seyahatname (the book of Travel) as "the Mecca of Christians". Both are full of mysteries; both have been researched a lot, written a lot and told a lot. And there is also that Evliya Celebi tells about Hagia Sophia in a more different way than anyone else has done. To read Seyyah-i Alem's (The Traveller of the World) Seyahatname means to ben friends with our great traveller prior to 400 years, to make a journey to that and previosu period.

"Since the Turks first shattered the glory of the French crusaders in 1396, the Ottoman Empire has exerted a long, strong pull on Western minds. For six hundred years, the Empire swelled and declined. Islamic, martial, civilized, and tolerant, in three centuries it advanced from the dusty foothills of Anatolia to rule on the Danube and the Nile; at the Empire's height, Indian rajahs and the kings of France beseeched its aid. For the next three hundred years the Empire seemed ready to collapse, a prodigy of survival and decay. Early in the twentieth century it fell. In this dazzling evocation of its power, Jason Goodwin explores how the Ottomans rose and how, against all odds, they lingered on. In the process he unfolds a sequence of mysteries, triumphs, treasures, and terrors unknown to most American readers. This was a place where pillows spoke and birds were fed in the snow; where time itself unfolded at a different rate and clocks were banned; where sounds were different, and even the hyacinths too strong to sniff. Dramatic and passionate, comic and gruesome, Lords of the Horizons is a history, a travel book, and a vision of a lost world all in one."352p.illus bibliography.index Book

New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). 334 p. In English. This is a book Istanbul and about those who conducted political and espionage missions there during the Second World War. It is a work of nonfiction based on extensive archival research and interviews. Each event and every conversation is reconstructed as accurately as possible. Whenever I interviewed those involved, four decades after the events herein described, there always came a moment when these Americans, Austrians, Czechs, Germans, Hungarians, Israelis, Russians, and Turks would light up in recalling those remarkable days that had forever marked their Jives. To some, these were moments of great achievement and romance; to others, searing tragedy. For all of them, it was an era of great perils and passionate idealism when they hoped their actions would shape a new world.

"Churches in Istanbul is a book about an interesting aspect of a city of a city of many colours and many worlds: Once 'the Rome of the East', Istanbul has housed many religions, and still remains an attraction for who wish to explore the memory of a distant past. The religious sites of the Chiristian peoples who worshipped in the city gives one the opportunity to do just that. Some of these churches are still active, some are in ruins, and some have been turned into mosques - but they all carry the scent of histor within their stones, their domes and arches, their altars, their chapels. Edith Oyhon and Bente Etingu have wandered in the streets of Istanbul searching for traces of time past. This book isa journey into those worlds that they have discoverd: Stories of how some of the churches dating back to Byzantine times were built, the Protestants and others. Churches in Istanbul is a guide that will encourage the reader- wanderer to seek further in a city that hides much more!".

New German Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In German. 200 p. Und über Tatavla fällt Schnee. Aus dem Türkischen von Helga Dagyeli-Bohne und Jorgos Valasiadis. First Edition. Eine Zeitreise in die Stadt am Bosporus, die vor Jahrhunderten Konstantinopel hieß - das kosmopolitische Istanbul. Der autobiographische Roman des Istanbuler Rum, so heißt die griechischsprachige Minderheit, Yorgos Valasiadis, entführt uns in die Welt seiner Kindheit und Jugend, die Gassen von Tatavla der 1950/60er Jahre. Zwischen Rebellion und Rock'n Roll stellt er uns seine Familie, Freunde und Nachbarschaft vor: Vater Yannis, der in Uniform wie eine Vogelscheuche aussah und den Offiziersfrauen Pantoffeln a la Hollywood anfertigen musste, Großvater Kostas, der im Suff eine Polizeiwache überfiel, Patenonkel Antiochos, in dessen Lokal Atatürk ein- und ausging, die resolute Urgroßmutter Sultana, die das Brot für die Familie mit einer vorgetäuschten Schwangerschaft ergattert, den Schulfreund Restis, der den gestrengen Lehrer im Bordell erwischt, die jüdische Tante Rebecca, deren Bruder von deutschen Agenten während des Krieges ermordet wurde, Fischer, Wahrsager, Wasserträger. Mit einer an Aziz Nesin gemahnenden Schalkhaftigkeit und geradezu übersprudelnden Erzählfreude berichtet Yorgos Valasiadis vom Leben der Minderheit, von Migration und Integration und von der Schönheit des Lebens.
