A book comprised of essays, stories and news that are fully illustrated with postcards from the Ottoman era. 

“ One day I discovered a city that amazed, fascinated me and sometimes vexed me.

A perfect match was quickly established between my deep sensitivity and this megalopolis bathing in water, steeped in memories of all cultures and consisting of a mosaic of different people. This is the city that inspires me as a writer. I feel like calling it "my" city.

This book is the fruit of my astonishment, my doubts and my happiness. The mirror of the Istanbul of Gisele.”
