{"product_id":"everyday-life-in-istanbul-150612","title":"Everyday Life in İstanbul","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn the map of human existence, Istanbul throughout the age of empire represented the administrative power center. Rome, Byzantium and the Ottoman Empire each took its place in history as a ring of civilization that formed around this center. To view history from this perspective means to read the story of humanity in its pages and, in a sense, to rediscover each time this dazzling star that shone in the skies of Anatolia, the Balkans and the Mediterranean. As mankind discovered Istanbul, it also discovered itself as a passionate traveler on the road leading back to its own past. Istanbul today is a treasurehouse where all our lost values are carefully preserved. A compass for our social identity that has lost its way, a touchstone for our decaying aesthetic taste, a trustworthy scale for our degenerating sense of justice – Istanbul can assume all these roles while at the same time generously offering us a human experience and a store of knowledge capable of answering every question put to it.“Everyday Life in Istanbul” is a collection of striking images along a journey back to the roots of the Turks’ social identity. A work embracing the history of an imperial city in a plane where Man, Culture and Space relate to each other, it is a noteworthy example of the new historiography, which sets up a balance among the social sciences. With its unique style and its theoretical framework set against a multi-dimensional background extending from politics to culture, from architecture to literature, it is at the same time a contemporary historian’s gift to our city. (Tanıtım Bülteninden) \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yapı Kredi Yayınları","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47918970732803,"sku":"150612","price":33.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/0463\/4115\/files\/0001757750002-1.jpg?v=1775606078","url":"https:\/\/1001-kitap.com\/products\/everyday-life-in-istanbul-150612","provider":"1001 Kitap","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
