‘An enthralling guide to one of the world’s great cities – that blends history and insights into the present day from one of the most astute commentators on the politics of Istanbul' PETER FRANKOPAN

'A love letter to this ancient capital' THE TIMES

Walking along the crumbling defensive walls of Istanbul and talking to those he passes, Alexander Christie-Miller finds a distillation of the country’s history, a mirror of its present, and a shadow of its future.

Caught between two seas and two continents, Istanbul lies at the centre of the most pressing challenges of our time. With environmental decay, rapacious development and tightening authoritarianism straining its social fabric to breaking point, it represents the precipitous moment civilizations around the world are currently facing.

In and around its crumbling Byzantine-era fortifications, Alexander Christie-Miller meets people who are experiencing the looming crisis and fighting back, sometimes triumphing despite the odds.

To the City seamlessly blends two narratives: the story of Turkey’s tumultuous recent past told through the lives of those who live around the walls, and the story of Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II’s siege and capture of the city in 1453. That event still looms large in Turkey, as Recep Tayyip Erdogan like a latter-day sultan invokes its memory as part of his effort to transform the country in an echo of its imperial past.

This is a meditation on the soul of Istanbul, a paean to its resilience and fortitude. Walk with Christie-Miller and see the danger, beauty and hope.

Great slippers made very well for a great price!
Size: 10.5-11 Women/10-10.5 Men, Color: Black
I am in love with these cat slippers. Part of me thought they wouldn't be of good quality but when they arrived I was pleasantly surprised! The sole on these slippers is strong and sturdy which was one of the main reasons I purchased these. Prior to owning these I had a different pair of slippers that had a soft sole, every time it would rain my feet would get soggy with these slippers I don't have that problem. The cute cats were the other reasons for purchase, they are just so cute! The stitching on them seems to be sturdy and very well done. AND the best part, THE SIZE RANGE! I am a women with rather large feet, size 12 in women's to be exact. I can never find cute feminine slippers in my size but these not only have my size but they were actually true to size and fit!

Runs a bit small
Size: 8-9 Women/7.5-8 Men, Color: Black
I absolutely LOVE these slippers. They are very comfortable. I would suggest going up a size when ordering. I normally wear a ladies 7 or 8 in shoes (pending how the shoe is made). I ordered these in the sizes 8-9 category and I'm glad I did. They fit just right, so I think the sizing is a bit off. I love the soles on the bottom as well. I feel like I have finally found a great pair of house slippers...and they're CUTE!!!

Order one size up! Cute & cozy slippers
Size: 8-9 Women/7.5-8 Men, Color: Pink Cat, Size: 8-9 Women/7.5-8 Men, Color: Pink Cat
The slippers arrived today ( I got the gray and pink ones) and they are adorable. They fit more like a 7.5 than an 8 or a size slightly smaller than what the usual medium would be so I’d recommend ordering one size up. They’re soft and warm. 10/10 for the designs and colors. The bottoms/ soles are a rubber like material but no complaints there. So far, I’d buy another pair.
