With its varied and glorious history, Istanbul remains one of the world's perennially fascinating cities. Richard Tillinghast, who first visited Istanbul in the early 1960s and has watched it transform over the decades into a vibrant metropolis, explores its rich art and architecture, culture, cuisine, and much more in this book. Istanbul was known in Byzantine times as the 'Queen of Cities' and to the Ottoman Turks as the 'Abode of Felicity.' Steeped in Istanbul's history, Tillinghast takes his readers on a voyage of discovery through this storied cultural hub, and he is as comfortable talking about Byzantine mosaics and dervish ceremonies as Iznik ceramics and the imperial mosques. His lyrical writing brings Istanbul alive on the page as he accompanies readers to cafes, palaces, and taverns, perfectly conjuring the atmospheric delights, sounds, and senses of the city.
