Críticas:
"Charles King has combed out the threads of this complex and highly nuanced story in a hugely enjoyable, magnificently researched and deeply absorbing book." -- The New York Times "Charles King's lively and intelligent book..." -- The Times "King's wonderful book, as rich in historic moments as it is in squalor, may have got closer to Istanbul's enduring spirit than any other." -- The Sunday Telegraph "Mr King has found a winning formula for depicting the micro- and macro-history of one of the world's most seductive places." -- The Economist "Intrigue, violence, sex and espionage, all set against the slow dimming of Ottoman magnificence. I loved this book." -- Simon Winchester
Reseña del editor:
When the Ottoman Empire collapsed, so many spies mingled in the lobby of Istanbul's Pera Palace Hotel that the manager put up a sign asking them to relinquish seats to paying guests. As the multi-ethnic empire became a Turkish republic, Russian emigres sold family heirlooms, an African American impresario founded a jazz club and Miss Turkey became the first Muslim beauty queen. Turkey's president Kemal Ataturk, Muslim feminist Halide Edip, the exiled Leon Trotsky and the future Pope John XXIII fought for new visions of human freedom. During the Second World War, German intellectuals ran from the Nazis while Jewish activists spirited refugees out of occupied Europe. This pioneering portrait of urban reinvention re-creates an era when an ancient city became a global crossroads-a moment when Europe's closest Muslim metropolis became its vital port of refuge.
