Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to understand the lives, struggles, and elements of the Muslim population in Constantinople during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, through the eyes of a Christian missionary. The author's intimate knowledge of everyday life in Constantinople, and of the religious communities living there, means he is able to detail the ways in which faith, tradition, culture, and politics intermingle in the complicated tapestry of Ottoman society. The author makes the case that Constantinople served as a hub through which religious and cultural influence passed from Europe into the wider Muslim world, reinforcing existing prejudices and suspicions while also acting as a catalyst for further change. The book therefore offers a valuable perspective on the collision between stubbornly-held traditional views and newer, modernizing ideas: a struggle whose reverberations can still be seen throughout the Muslim world today.
