Istanbul

Istanbul is a vivid photographic record of daily life in Turkey's cultural capital from the 1940s to the 1980s. Captured through the unerring lens of award-winning lensmaster Ara Gler, the ?Eye of Istanbul?, it reflects the melancholic aesthetic of the city as it oscillates between tradition and modernity. The striking black-and-white photographs in this book are accompanied by a hitherto unpublished foreword by Orhan Pamuk, the first Turkish recipient of the Nobel Prize.
