Galata, Pera, Beyoğlu: A Biography

Konusu

Galata, pera, and beyoğlu street by street, step by step. An unusual “biography” from john freely and brendan freely: avenues, neighborhoods, hans, and passages that have been embracing various cultures and identities for centuries, changing day by day but never losing their unique characters. Books about istanbul invariably focus on the historic peninsula but “galata, pera, beyoğlu: a biography” concentrates on beyoğlu, the district on the north side of the golden horn across from the constantinopolitan peninsula.
