Edmondo de Amicis's account of Istanbul is a fascinating record of a cosmopolitan city at its peak. As his ship approaches the harbour, the city gradually emerges from the fog, offering a breathtaking glimpse into the metropolis.

This 19th-century travelogue combines personal anecdote with vivid observations and entertaining historical information, providing an invaluable insight into Istanbul's unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures. De Amicis's own reactions to the city - part delight, part incomprehension - add a layer of authenticity to this enriching read.

For those interested in history or planning a visit to Istanbul, this book offers a unique perspective on the city as it was during its heyday. a worthwhile read for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of this fascinating city.
