This guidebook doesn't say a word about where to sleep, what to eat, or what to buy in Istanbul. And yet, it's essential to take it with you. Sergey Ivanov, a specialist in the history and culture of Byzantium, invites the reader on a dual journey—through space and through time. The book will lead you through the streets of Istanbul to the remains of Constantinople, which still preserve the memory of its grandeur, beauty, and diversity. Despite the Turkish authorities' indifference to these unique monuments, they still have much to tell the attentive observer—stories both dramatic and sad, funny and touching, full of adventure. The pages of the guidebook will bring the City back to life as if it had never disappeared: they will take you through palaces, monasteries, hospitals and schools, introduce you to emperors and patriarchs, generals and eunuchs, merchants and artisans, saints and harlots, and draw you into the whirlpool of the turbulent and rich life that once flourished in the capital of a great empire.
