Originally published in 1854, the book provides a vivid and detailed account of Gautier?s journey to Constantinople (now Istanbul), the capital city of the Ottoman Empire. Gautier?s writing style is descriptive and poetic, painting a picture of the city?s architecture, people, and customs. He explores the city?s many mosques, bazaars, and palaces, and provides insights into the daily lives of its inhabitants. Gautier?s observations are informed by his knowledge of history and art, making this book not just a travelogue, but also a cultural and historical document.
