(british) Bernard Lewis
Bernard Lewis, a master of Middle Eastern studies, makes flexible use of a large number of first-hand historical materials and related literary works, and based on direct observation and records, vividly reproduces the urban life and civilization of Istanbul during the Ottoman Empire.

Seeing the big from the small, using rich and little-known details to restore the history of Istanbul, reflecting the glory and decline of the entire Ottoman Empire through a city. Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople, is a legendary city and the capital of three famous empires in history. As the gateway between East and West, different cultures from Asia and Europe collide and merge here. In 1453, Sultan Mehmed II "the Conqueror" conquered the city and made it the capital of the Ottoman Empire. Under Ottoman rule, the city once again transformed itself from a remnant of Byzantium into the center of a vast empire and flourishing civilization. In this rich work, Bernard Lewis, a great historian of the Middle East known as "the last great Orientalist", describes the urban development and the reconstruction of civilization during the great era of the Ottoman Empire from the 15th to the 17th century. Relying on first-hand information from Ottoman chroniclers, poets, and European travelers, and using Ottoman prose and poetry from the perspective of participants and observers at the time, Lewis vividly reproduces the social life of Istanbul and its people, as well as the faces of the sultan, court officials, religious scholars, and other major classes. This book not only writes the history of Istanbul, but also the splendid civilization of the Ottoman Empire at its peak.
