Forty Years in Constantinople: The Recollections of Sir Edwin Pears, 1873-1915 is a historical memoir written by Sir Edwin Pears, a British journalist and diplomat who lived in Constantinople (now Istanbul) for forty years. The book was first published in 1916, a year after Pears' death.The memoir provides a detailed account of Pears' experiences in Constantinople, where he arrived as a young man in 1873. Pears' recollections cover a period of significant political and social changes in the Ottoman Empire, including the reigns of Sultan Abdul Hamid II and Mehmed V.Throughout the book, Pears describes his interactions with various Ottoman officials, including the sultan himself, as well as his experiences reporting on major events such as the Armenian massacres of the 1890s and the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913. He also discusses his involvement in diplomatic efforts to resolve conflicts in the region.In addition to his political and diplomatic experiences, Pears also provides insights into the social and cultural life of Constantinople during this period. He describes the city's diverse population, its markets and bazaars, and its religious and cultural traditions.Overall, Forty Years in Constantinople is a valuable historical document that offers a unique perspective on a pivotal period in Ottoman history.
