"Constantinople, v. 2 (of 2)" by Edmondo De Amicis is a non-fiction travelogue published in 1877. This vivid account captures the essence of Constantinople in the Ottoman Empire, the city now known as Istanbul. De Amicis guides readers through the bustling streets and landmarks with such eloquence that Umberto Eco called it the most cinematic description of the city. Praised by Orhan Pamuk as the best nineteenth-century book about Istanbul, this work
shaped European perceptions of the Orient for generations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
