New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 13,5 cm). In English. 418 p. The official line that successive Turkish regimes have frequently repeated and which has firmly established itself in both Turkish and foreign public opinion is that the Republic of Turkey is one of those rare countries in which antisemitism has never taken root, and in which Jews have thus lived for centuries within a tolerant atmosphere of peace and tranquility, but it simply isn't true. Along with antisemitism are the conspiracy theories in which the "Jew" or the "Zionist" feature as the main actors that are widely seen throughout Turkish society. In fact, this state of affairs is not only pervasive but has even become "normal" to the point of banality, so much so that it tends to draw no reaction from either the country's intellectuals or politicians. This book contains a collection of author's published articles on the subject-a subject that has received no serious treatment in Turkey, and as such attempts to fill the gaping hole in our knowledge of this widespread yet rarely discussed phenomenon and, as such, stands as an indispensible source for those interested in Turkey and antisemitism.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 189 p., ills. Thanks for buggy ride: Memoirs of an Ottoman Jew. The intense autobiography of a cosmopolitan Jew born in Istanbul at the beginning of the 20th century, a time when people from all over the world were converging upon the city, enticed by the allure and diversity of its cultural milieu. The flavor and perfume of this vibrant metropolis pervades the account of his lively youth during which he was educated at local German and English schools. He went on to travel throughout Europe during the 1920s settling in Vienna and later in Italy. With the advent of World War II, Victor moved to London and was engaged by the British Intelligence Corps, where his undercover work took him back again to Istanbul and also to Cairo. The contrasts of these years of espionage and his fulfilling familial life as an antiques dealer in Milan are recounted in this engaging memoir in which the author's broad-minded and cultivated humanity radiates through every page. 100 copies were printed.

The Monroe Doctrine was a United States policy of opposing European colonialism in The Americas beginning in 1823. It stated that further efforts by European nations to take control of any independent state in North or South America would be viewed as "the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States". At the same time, the doctrine noted that the U.S. would recognize and not interfere with existing European colonies nor meddle in the internal concerns of European countries. The Doctrine was issued on December 2, 1823 at a time when nearly all Latin American colonies of Spain and Portugal had achieved or were at the point of gaining independence from the Portuguese and Spanish Empires.

[Exhibition catalogue]. A very heavy volume. Istanbul Research Institute in collaboration with Robert College presented the exhibition The Anatomy of a Tradition: 150 Years of Robert College 1863 - 2013 at the Istanbul Research Institute on the occasion of 150th anniversary of Robert College, one of the long-established and meritocratic educational institutions of Istanbul. Robert College was founded in Istanbul in 1863 by Cyrus Hamlin and Christopher R. Robert, two men who believed in the universal value of education. It was the first American school to be established in the Ottoman lands, and outside the USA. Surviving revolutions, wars, earthquakes, fires, and epidemics, the College never closed down a single day throughout its 150-year history. Robert College has educated seven prime ministers (four of them Bulgarian), countless statesmen, writers, artists, musicians, actors, athletes, businessmen, engineers, doctors, lawyers, and educators.It has been the standard against which other schools measure themselves, even when Robert College itself had the challenge of living up to its own standards, due to lack of funding, inadequate buildings etc. from time to time throughout its history. Curated by Cem Akas, the exhibition shed light on the 150 years of the College, as well as the educational, cultural, social and intellectual life in Istanbul through selected photographs and objects from Robert College Archives, Columbia University Rare Book & Manuscript Library and private collections.

Wooden Istanbul: Examples from housing architecture.= Istanbuls Holzhauser: Beispiele seiner historischen Wohnarchitektur.= Ahsap Istanbul: Konut mimarisinden örnekler. ''Istanbul's real interior view,'' writes Tanpinar in describing the wooden houses of Istanbul ''was created by a colorful civil architecture ornate with oriels, bow windows and projections, eaves and awnings, velvety soft lines and decorations.'' To his observations on the perished wooden seaside palaces of the Bosphorus he adds, ''Perhaps the history of the Bosphorus fascinates us more than others, for we no longer find in place what we are looking for. .What intrigues us, in fact is none other than the void these buildings leave behind.'' Today, although it is rarely encountered in the landscape of Istanbul, wooden housing architecture continues to preserve its place in the city's image as it is enshrined in collective memory. While many have us may not have spent a portion of our lives in such houses, the memories of family members and friends and the impressions from the literature of a recent past sustain our connection to these houses. Whether we are aware or not, this heritage enthralls us with the mystique of a lost world while offering certain clues on the creation of an inescapably reconstructed Istanbul identity, which is shaped not only through architecture but also an entire way of living.

Third Edition. On the map of human existence. Istanbul throughout the age of empire represented the administrative power center. Rome, Byzantium and the Ottoman Empire each took its place in history as a ring of civilization that formed around this center. To view history from this perspective means to read the story of humanity in its pages and, in a sense, to rediscover each time this dazzling star that shone in the skies of Anatolia, the Balkans and the Mediterranean. As mankind discovered Istanbul, it also discovered itself as a passionate traveler on the road leading back to its own past. Istanbul today is a treasurehouse where all our lost values are carefully preserved. A compass for our social identity that has lost its way, a touchstonefor our decaying aesthetic taste, a trustworthy scale for our degenerating sense of justice - Istanbul can assume all these roles while at the same time generously offering us a human experience and store of knowledge capable of answering every question put to it. Everyday Life in Istanbul is a collection of striking images along a journey back to the roots of the Turks' social identity. A work embracing the history of an imperial city in a plane where Man, Culture and Space relate to each other, it is a noteworthy example of the new historiography, which sets up a balance among the social sciences. With its unique style and its theoretical framework set against a multidimensional background extending from politics to culture, from architecture to literature, it is at the same time a contemporary historian's gift to our city.
New Turkish Original cloth bdg. In special slip-case. 4to. (29 x 25 cm). In Turkish. 369, [1] p., color and b/w ills. Treasury land from Akintiburnu to Bebek Garden that was bestowed upon Janissary Hasan Halife by Sultan Murad IV (1623-1640), was transferred to national treasury following a rebellion in 1631-1632 in the reign of Sultan Mehmed IV (1648-1687). In the reign of Sultan Ahmed III (1703-1730), treasury land from Hasan Halife Garden to Kayalar Village, was sold by Grand Vizier Damad Ibrahim Pasha in 1724/25. Grand Vizier Izzet Mehmed Pasha, who has a share in the said lands, built a pavilion just for the Sultan. Sultan Selim III (1789-1807) set foot on Izzetabad Pavilion for the first time upon the invitation of GRAND Vizier Izzet Mehmed Pasha, but later he frequently came to the Pavilion for pleasure and entertaining activities. After a fire on May 15th, 1798; Izzetabad Pavilion was burnt down. And Grand Vizier Izzet Mehmed Pasha died in Manisa on September 18th, 1812. Treasury land from Akintiburnu to Bebek Garden that was bestowed upon Janissary Hasan Halife by Sultan Murad IV (1623-1640), was transferred to national treasury following a rebellion in 1631-1632 in the reign of Sultan Mehmed IV (1648-1687). The pavilion was rebuilt and redecorated by Chief Architect Mustafa and Hayrullah Efendi from Sehremini, between the years 1800-1804, and the palace was used by Sultan Selim III and Mahmud II (1808-1839). When the Bayraktar Group bought Izzetâbâd Pavilion, there was nothing more than relics of the basement. Its construction and renovation was completed in 1999. Thanks to the Bayraktar Group, Istanbul and Turkey have regained a precious heritage from the period of Selim III. After four years, in 2003, we started out to initiate the research which would unearth the mysterious history of Izzetâbâd Pavilion and Akintiburnu, together with Dear Emine Çigdem Tugay and Dear Mehmet Selim Tugay. In the corridors of the history of Akintiburnu, tracing back to nearly 2 thousand years ago, we started to discover the sophisticated and colorful history of Izzetâbâd Pavilion which witnessed great joys as well as torments and conspiracies to date. As a result, the book of Izzetâbâd Pavilion, Time Flies Away from Akintiburnu was published to reveal the history of Izzetâbâd Pavilion and Akintiburnu in light of historical documents. Today, we have this precious work of art written by Dear Emine Çigdem Tugay and Dear Mehmet Selim Tugay, and which gained further value thanks to the highly professional design by Dear Joelle Imamoglu.
