Abszol煤t kompakt kis k茅zik枚nyv, 谩r-茅rt茅k ar谩nya kiemelked艖*, k眉l枚n枚sen annak f茅ny茅ben, hogy milyen kev茅s nemzetk枚zileg jegyzett sz枚veg van a korszakr贸l 茅s a t茅m谩r贸l magyar nyelven. Lewis nem line谩risan mutatja be a vizsg谩lt t谩rgyat, hanem a k眉l枚nb枚z艖 egys茅geket k眉l枚n谩ll贸 fejezetekben t谩rgyalja 鈥� egy kis 谩llamigazgat谩s, egy kis v谩rost枚rt茅net, egy kis oszm谩n eredett枚rt茅net, egy kis vall谩studom谩ny 鈥�, 茅s azt谩n ezekb艖l kell kirajzol贸djon egy 谩tfog贸 k茅p a szult谩nok birodalm谩r贸l. Mondjuk az茅rt ez az 鈥灻fog贸 k茅p鈥� egy kicsit kev茅sb茅 volt 谩tfog贸, mint szerettem volna 鈥� Lewis nem nagyon t枚rekszik arra, hogy ak谩r Isztambulr贸l, ak谩r mag谩r贸l a t枚r枚k枚kr艖l minden ig茅nyt kiel茅g铆t艖, r茅szletez艖 tanulm谩nyt 铆rjon, ink谩bb csak 铆zel铆t艖t ad mindenf茅l茅b艖l. (N茅ha mintha egy ezeroldalas nagymonogr谩fia trailer茅t l谩tn谩m.) Ett艖l f眉ggetlen眉l sok 茅rdekess茅get 茅s alapvet艖 inform谩ci贸t, valamint sz铆nes vend茅gsz枚veget tartalmaz kort谩rs utaz贸k toll谩b贸l, amik 眉dv枚sen eg茅sz铆tik ki a korszakr贸l birtokolt szer茅ny inform谩ci贸mennyis茅gemet. Csak 茅pp j贸 lenne egyszer valami kerekebb, eg茅szebb szakirodalmat is olvasni.

Bernard Lewis'in okudu臒um ilk kitab谋.
Bask谋 i莽in konu艧ursak; anlat谋m谋 d眉zg眉n modern T眉rk莽e ile yaz谋lm谋艧; anlam谋na bakmak zorunda olaca臒谋n谋z 莽ok kelime yok.
Kitap, 1453 istanbulun fethi ile ba艧l谋yor ve Osman'l谋n谋n 枚nemli Padi艧ahlar谋n谋n d枚nemlerini 枚zetliyor. Sonras谋nda g眉ndelik ya艧am, inan莽 gibi konular谋 detayland谋r谋yor. Evliya 脟elebi gibi tarih莽ilerin anlat谋m谋na ve g枚zlemlerine de bolca yer veriyor.
Bernard Lewis orientlist olarak tan谋nan bir tarih莽i, benim dikkatimi 莽eken 艧枚yle k谋s谋mlar mevcut kitapta. Mesela Osmanl谋'da var olan, sultan&艧ehzadelerin kan谋 ak谋t谋lmadan ipek bir ip ile bo臒ulmalar谋 gelene臒ini islami inan莽lara ba臒l谋yor. Ancak T眉rkolog olan Peter Goldman'谋 okumu艧san谋z e臒er bunun orta asya bozk谋r谋ndan gelen bir gelenek oldu臒unu, ayn谋 bo臒ma merasiminin h眉k眉mdar ba艧a gelece臒i zaman 艧amanlar taraf谋ndan kendisine uygulan谋p y枚netimde kalaca臒谋 s眉renin de bu 艧ekilde belirlendi臒i ve Lewis'in belirtti臒i fikrin eksik kald谋臒谋n谋 g枚r眉yorsunuz.
Ama mesala istanbulun fethinden sonraki 陌stanbulun toplumsal yap谋s谋n谋 M眉sl眉man, H谋ristiyan,Yahudi ve di臒er dinlerden insanlarla say谋lar谋 ile inceleme, Lonca'lar, yap谋lan eserler ile ilgili bolca bilgi edinebiliyorsunuz.

It's an easy to read book,it got me restarted on reading in a genre I never thought I would enjoy reading.
The book uses a lot of direct primary sources, the language was unpleasant to read, especially the untranslated old English text.
The layout of the book reads like a textbook, not very flowing between each section especially with the inserted primary texts. I personally would have preferred the history followed a chronological order which would have helped understand with so many sultans having the same first name how the life in Istanbul unfolds.

Istanbul and the Civilization of the Ottoman Empire (Paperback)
by Bernard Lewis
I often read history books not only to learn more about some time, place or person, but also to see what I can adopt and adapt to my own fiction writing. In both respects, this book proved to be a wondrous little gem. My knowledge of the Ottoman Empire is little enough, and this book helped to fill in some of the wider lines with just enough detail that I'll want to go and learn more. Plainly, this is an introductory book and will not work well for people who are already well-versed in the history of the city, except perhaps, to glean a few more details from his lists and quotes which might not be easily available elsewhere.
The one oddity of the book was that, because all the native material was translated to modern words, those sections read far better than the quoted English material, which was left in its own archaic style and proved hard to read on occasion.
I did find the discussion of the introduction of coffee and the sudden popularity of coffee houses with the literati to be amusing. Apparently, if there is a coffee house, it will draw writers anywhere in the world.
From the perspective a fiction writer, this book is filled with the kinds of details that send a fantasy and science fiction writer's heart fluttering with world building ecstasy. Everything from the layout of the Imperial Palace to the hierarchy of who stands before whom in the line is laid out in lovely little details. Details about the city itself are sometimes given I excruciating detail, but from which many helpful city building details can be gathered.
At a mere 176 pages, this little gem is well worth reading on many levels.

Ik had bedacht dit boek te lezen in de aanloop naar onze reis naar Istanbul, of op zijn minst tijdens die reis. Het werd informatie achteraf. Ook dit heeft zijn charme, want nu had ik verschillende plaatsen die Lewis beschrijft met eigen ogen gezien.
Het boek kun je denk ik het beste beschouwen als een inleiding, een inleiding tot Ottomaans Istanbul. Lewis stipt veel aan, maar graaft niet diep. Dit is misschien maar goed ook...

Un libro davvero utile per chi, come me, non conosce nulla sullo sviluppo e le caratteristiche della civilt脿 ottomana e vuole farsi un'idea senza scendere troppo nel dettaglio.
