For much of its history it was the very center of the world, known simply as \"The City,\" but, as Bettany Hughes reveals, Istanbul is not just a city, but a global story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this epic new biography, Hughes takes us on a dazzling historical journey from the Neolithic to the present, through the many incarnations of one of the world's greatest cities--exploring the ways that Istanbul's influence has spun out to shape the wider world. Hughes investigates what it takes to make a city and tells the story not just of emperors, viziers, caliphs, and sultans, but of the poor and the voiceless, of the women and men whose aspirations and dreams have continuously reinvented Istanbul.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten with energy and animation, award-winning historian Bettany Hughes deftly guides readers through Istanbul's rich layers of history. Based on meticulous research and new archaeological evidence, this captivating portrait of the momentous life of Istanbul is visceral, immediate, and authoritative -- narrative history at its finest.","brand":"Hachette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45956999282845,"sku":null,"price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/8783\/5037\/files\/9780306921995.jpg?v=1746651342"},{"product_id":"short-stories-in-arabic-for-intermediate-learners-teach-yourself","title":"Short Stories in Arabic for Intermediate Learners","description":"An unmissable collection of eight unconventional and captivating short stories for adult and young adult learners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Olly's top-notch language-learning insights are right in line with the best of what we know from neuroscience and cognitive psychology about how to learn effectively.

He wanted to learn Arabic, explore Cairo's neighborhoods, and visit the legendary archaeological digs of Upper Egypt. After his years of covering China for The New Yorker, friends warned him Egypt would be a much quieter place. But not long before he arrived, the Egyptian Arab Spring had begun, and now the country was in chaos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the midst of the revolution, Hessler often traveled to digs at Amarna and Abydos, where locals live beside the tombs of kings and courtiers, a landscape that they call simply al-Madfuna: \"the Buried.\" He and his wife set out to master Arabic, striking up a friendship with their instructor, a cynical political sophisticate. They also befriended Peter's translator, a gay man struggling to find happiness in Egypt's homophobic culture. A different kind of friendship was formed with the neighborhood garbage collector, an illiterate but highly perceptive man named Sayyid, whose access to the trash of Cairo would be its own kind of archaeological excavation. Hessler also met a family of Chinese small-business owners in the lingerie trade; their view of the country proved a bracing counterpoint to the West's conventional wisdom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough the lives of these and other ordinary people in a time of tragedy and heartache, and through connections between contemporary Egypt and its ancient past, Hessler creates an astonishing portrait of a country and its people. What emerges is a book of uncompromising intelligence and humanity--the story of a land in which a weak state has collapsed but its underlying society remains in many ways painfully the same. A worthy successor to works like Rebecca West's Black Lamb and Grey Falcon and Bruce Chatwin's The Songlines, The Buried bids fair to be recognized as one of the great books of our time.","brand":"PRH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45975575363741,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/8783\/5037\/files\/9780525559580.jpg?v=1746652430"},{"product_id":"the-children-of-the-ghetto-ii-star-of-the-sea","title":"The Children of the Ghetto: II","description":"An acclaimed Lebanese writer speaks to the complexity of the Palestinian experience in a devastating account of resilience and loss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Gives voice to rooted exiles and trapped refugees, to dissolving boundaries and changing identities, to radical demands and new languages.\" — Edward Said\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeaving personal and cultural memory into a tale that humanizes the complex Palestinian experience, Star of the Sea traces the contours of the unspeakable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdam Dannoun’s story is one of beginnings.
