Beskrivelse af Forty Years In Constantinople
Forty Years In Constantinople: The Recollections Of Sir Edwin Pears, 1873-1915 (1916) is a memoir written by Sir Edwin Pears, a British journalist who spent four decades living and working in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) during a period of significant political and social change. The book chronicles Pears' experiences and observations of life in the Ottoman Empire, from his arrival in 1873 as a young journalist to his departure in 1915 amid the chaos of World War I.Pears provides a detailed account of the political and social climate in Constantinople during this period, including the rise of nationalism and the tensions between different ethnic and religious groups. He also offers insights into the Ottoman court and the lives of the ruling elite, as well as the experiences of ordinary people living in the city.Throughout the book, Pears reflects on his own role as a foreign observer in Constantinople, grappling with questions of cultural difference and the challenges of reporting on a complex and often turbulent society. He also shares his observations on the broader political and social changes taking place in Europe and the Middle East during this time.Overall, Forty Years In Constantinople is a rich and engaging memoir that offers a unique perspective on a pivotal period in Ottoman history, as well as insights into the experiences of a foreign journalist living and working in a complex and dynamic city.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
