Turkey

"In over 300 superb photographs by Yan the monuments, art treasures, landscape and people of Turkey are revealed . . . Lord Kinross, traveller and Turkophile, contributes an introductory essay . . . Turkey conjures up the magic names of the Bosporus, the Golden Horn and Hagia Sophia and in this fascinating book they are all captured in their breathtaking beauty. But so also is the rest of her great capital, famous for centuries as Constantinople and now evocative of mystery and intrigue as Istanbul. Here too are the many faces of Turkey, of the peasants still living a primitive existence and of the modern descendants of the celebrated Janissaries" -- from the dust jacket notes
