Prof. Dr. Suraiya Faroqhi’nin on yedinci ve on sekizinci yüzyıl İstanbul’undaki mücadeleler, şenlikler ve felaketler üzerine yazdığı Türkçe makalelerden oluşan . In this curation of her recent articles, Suraiya Faroqhi takes the reader to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Istanbul, with casional forays intoearlier and later periods. The city’s “ordinary” inhabitants take center stage. While epidemics and large-scale conflagrations might wreck lives overnight, the residents of Istanbul worked hard to keep alive and feed their families. From the foods eaten and the streets trersed, to the miseries endured buse of recurring fires, Surviving Istanbul illustrates a city of immigrants, sles, artisans, and rural dwellers supplying the urban markets, with all the struggles that living in (and around) the city entailed. However, this was a population of youngsters, who whenever possible were good at finding rtunities for fun and games, at public festivities or when taking a swim in a river emptying into the Bosporus. Using archival and narrative sources, espelly the impressions of Evliya Çelebi (1611–about 1685), this book is a mosaic depicting what daily life may he looked like in pre-modern Istanbul. Suraiya Faroqhi is a professor of history at Ibn Haldun University, Istanbul.Ürün Adı: Surviving Istanbul - Struggles, Feasts and Calamities in the Seventeenth and Eighteenh CenturiesÜrün Kodu: 9786258022407Yazar: Suraiya FaroqhiBasım Yılı: 2023Kapak Türü: CiltliSayfa Sayısı: 448Kağıt Cinsi: 2.
