Along the Bosphorus (A Vintage Short)

A Vintage Shorts Travel Selection
Â
The Nobel Prizeâ€“winning novelist Orhan Pamuk reminisces on growing up on the banks of the mysterious Bosphorus in Istanbul.
Â
From the ghostly yalis, splendid waterside mansions built by the great Ottoman families during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, to the crowds of vesselsâ€”Russian frigates, rickety fishing boats, and ferriesâ€”that plied its waters, Pamuk takes readers on a tour of the great river. A selection from the shimmering and evocative Istanbul: Memories and the City, â€œAlong the Bosphorusâ€ is the essential guide to the cityâ€™s watery way.
