Japanese geographer Yasuhiro Suzuki shares his touching memories of the Balkans and Türkiye (Turkey) that he has kept secret for 30 years. With only a smile as his business card wherever he went, he was confused by paperless toilets, jeep rides through the countryside, and scared by the whistles of border guards. This is the place where the straits both separates the land and connects people.

The Middle East has always been one of the most challenging destinations for lorry drivers. In the 1970s and 80s, many drivers may not have even heard of the destinations they were sent to before heading out eastwards. Along the way they endured extreme weather conditions, bureaucratic nightmares, and the physical trials of keeping themselves and their trucks operational over many thousands of miles of poorly maintained and dangerous roads. Their adventures have become legendary within the trucking world.In this book Dave Bowers tells with humour and insight the amazing stories of people driving to Middle East destinations, battling against all the odds to deliver their loads. The inspiration comes from his own experience through those routes and in particular on one adventurous journey homewards from Tehran in 1975, when he happened to be stranded in Iran, with no cash to speak of and spending many nights sleeping in abandoned trailers along the way. Dave travelled homewards after he was given lifts in trucks returning to Europe. These were driven by drivers who had many tales to tell, and this book was motivated by the need to keep these fascinating stories alive.Illustrated with photographs of the drivers and vehicles taken at the time, Beyond the Bosphorus records what it was like for ordinary HGV drivers to get involved in something so dramatically different from their everyday working lives in the UK. It will be of interest to lorry drivers, general vehicle enthusiasts and also those with a historical and social interest in the Middle East alike.

What is the truth? Does the truth lie with one faith over another, in the drawing of boundaries and sticking to sides? Or could the truth lie at the middle line where all sides cross, melt and bleed into each other? Bosphorus suggests an answer to the seemingly irresolvable conflicts we face in our dizzyingly fast-pace contemporary global environment through the intimate lives of each of its characters and an ongoing dialectical situation.In Bosphorus, this vital river in Istanbul, Turkey serves as a metaphor that flows between two divided worlds- the East and the West, Asia and Europe- symbolizing a world split in culture, worldview, religion, lifestyle and identity. Between and beyond all opposites, the Bosphorus in this story exceeds its geographical location, acting as another name for what is otherwise known as the dividing line, the razor's edge, the middle place of balance between all sides. Through their individually written books narrated in the first person, each character- Abu Hamid Al-Jilani, Delphi O'Connor, Sabina Chagas and Jacob Stiller- will reveal their most intimate thoughts as they stand at the edge of divers worlds. They will struggle to find which side they will cling to or whether their place lies somewhere in the middle, the place in-between, the Bosphorus.

From the ancient Greek, Roman, Persian, and Byzantine eras to the Ottoman Empire to the present day, the Bosphorus strait is a storied and scenic region of Turkey. As the crossroads of the country’s European and Asian subsections, it is home to rich culture, incredible people, delicious food, unique architecture, and unmistakable style. Countless creatives have been awed and inspired here, including Tommy Hilfiger, Christian Louboutin, Nicky Haslam, and Cher. Turkish denizens and visitors alike are thrilled by the skyline, a breathtaking view of calming waters and magnificent bridges. But some of the best places to discover the style of the Bosphorus are within the private homes of its welcoming residents, who are always gracious and ready to entertain, and who know just the right balance of old and new to both pay homage to their country’s glorious past and herald its future. These vibrant personalities each have a story to tell, something that tethers them to this enchanted slice of the world. Bosphorus Private, showcasing twenty homes, is the melding of two continents, countless creative influences, and millennia of history.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1839 edition. Excerpt: ...on which the meuzzin performs his prostrations, and regulates the devotions of the faithful during the service, is finely chiselled to represent a wreath of lotus leaves. The pulpit is shaped like the blossom of the arum, and being composed of fine white marble, has the effect of a gigantic flower petrified into stone. The great entrance-gates of the edifice are very costly, being thickly inlaid with devices of mother-of-pearl; and the marble floor is over-strown with rich carpets. The entire roof of the building is highly ornamented, and sentences from the Koran, beautifully written in the oriental character, are scattered over the walls. The viihrab, or niche at the eastern extremity of the edifice, occupying the position which, when the ground-plan of the Mahommedan temples was borrowed from St. Sophia, was filled by the christian altar, is also inscribed with the names of the Deity and the Prophets. The immense wax candles that flank the mihrab are lighted every night during the reading of the Koran by the officiating Kiatib. Those at the mosque of St. Sophia are eighteen inches in circumference, and last for twelve months; and the waxen giants of Suleimanie, although considerably smaller, are still of enormous size; but as these are merely supposed to light the holy page of the priest, the body of the building is illuminated by thousands of small coloured lamps, suspended from the roof in various devices, by slight rods of iron, and producing to an European eye, a festal effect strangely incompatible with the sacred uses of the place. But Suleimanie possesses one peculiar feature, to which it is indebted for an interest beyond all the other mosques of Constantinople, and one of so high and honourable a character, that it is even more...
