De Amicis's account of this great, even "monstrous", city is wonderfully eloquent: as restless and busy as Constantinople itself, teeming with the sights, sounds and smells of one of the greatest and most diverse cities on Earth. * The Guardian * A long work like de Amicis' is more than an average guide: it is a cinematographic view of late 19th century Istanbul. * Time Out Istanbul * Stephen Parkins translation is assured and lively, catching well the spirit of the original... Edmondo De Amiciss book conjures up the eternal harem of Western imaginings, of alluring Oriental dshabill and sensual decadence behind closed doors. * TLS * I had De Amiciss text ready when I came to Istanbul. For he had seen what I cannot see today. -- Umberto Eco
