Istanbul

Like the Dublin of Joyce and Jan Morris' Venice , Orhan Pamuk's bestselling Istanbul: Memories of a City is a triumphant encounter of place and sensibility, beautifully written and immensely moving. Since the publication of Istanbul , Pamuk has continued to add to his collection of photographs of Istanbul. Now, he has selected a range of photographs for Illustrated Istanbul , linking each new image to his memoir. This lavish selection of 450 photographs features contributions from Ara Güler, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Istanbul's characteristic photography collectors, and contains previously unpublished family photographs from the author's archives.
