Istanbul city of majesty at the crossroads of the world
(Audiobook on CD)

In container (17 cm.).

Narrated by Edoardo Ballerini.

Perched at the tip of Europe, gazing across the shores of Asia, Istanbul remains as much a city of crossroads as it has for past two millennia. The history of this fabled metropolis--known as Byzantium, then Constantinople, now Istanbul--is at once glorious, out-sized, and astounding. Madden's biography of this city captures centuries of triumph and defeat, riches and poverty, seen through the eyes of those who inhabited it: the emperors and empresses, craftsmen and architects, sailors and fishermen, street vendors and harem concubines.
