Istanbul: The Sapphire Bosphorus
"The Bosphorus has always seemed to me one of the great focal points of our taste and sensibility. And so I have long believed that, on the day we finally succeed in deciphering what it represents for us, we shall discover one of our essential truths."
Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, Cinq villes, 1946
