Constantinople, v. 1 (of 2) by Edmondo De Amicis
"Constantinople, v. 1 (of 2)" by Edmondo De Amicis is a travelogue published in 1877. This vivid account captures Constantinople during the Ottoman Empire, offering European readers a detailed portrait of the exotic city now known as Istanbul. De Amicis's observations shaped Western imagination of the Orient for generations. Praised by Orhan Pamuk as the best nineteenth-century book about Istanbul and by Umberto Eco for its cinematic descriptions, this work remains a
compelling Victorian-era journey through one of history's most fascinating cities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
