From the Koran to Shakespeare, this city with three names - Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul - resonates as an idea and a place, real and imagined. Standing as the gateway between East and West, North and South, it has been the capital city of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires. For much of its history it was the very center of the world, known simply as "The City", but, as Bettany Hughes reveals, Istanbul is not just a city but a global story.

Not What I Was Looking For
Revisado: 03-26-25
I was looking for a book that was more story-oriented like THE DESERT QUEEN by Janet Wallach, or LAWRENCE IN ARABIA. I did not care for the book; it seemed like a long list of facts with very little reflection. If I had known I could do a return, I would have returned it. It was a waste of my 1 credit.
