Produktbeschreibung
When the Ottoman Empire collapsed, so many spies mingled in the lobby of Istanbul's Pera Palace Hotel that the manager put up a sign asking them to relinquish seats to paying guests. This pioneering portrait of urban reinvention re-create an era when an ancient city became a global crossroads - a moment when Europe's closest Muslim metropolis became its vital port of refuge.
