Surviving Istanbul. Struggles, feasts and calamities in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries [İMZALI İTHAFLI]

446 sayfa. 16x24 cm
Prof. Dr. Suraiya Faroqhi’nin on yedinci ve on sekizinci yüzyıl İstanbul’undaki mücadeleler, şenlikler ve felaketler üzerine yazdığı İngilizce makalelerden oluşan kitap.


In this curation of her recent articles, Suraiya Faroqhi takes the reader to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Istanbul, with occasional forays into
earlier and later periods. The city’s “ordinary” inhabitants take center stage. While epidemics and large-scale conflagrations might wreck lives overnight, the residents of Istanbul worked hard to keep alive and feed their families. From the foods eaten and the streets traversed, to the miseries endured because of recurring fires, Surviving Istanbul illustrates a city of immigrants, slaves, artisans, and rural dwellers supplying the urban markets, with all the struggles that living in (and around) the city entailed.
