A Memento For Istanbul (İngilizce)

A cloud laden wıth gloom hangs over the City of Seven Hills, and seven victims have drawn their last breath… An extraordınary murder committed on the hıstorıcal peninsula spurs Chief Inspector Nevzat into actıon. The killer, leaving an antique coin in the victim's palm, delivers messages through the corpse and expects them to be deciphered. Soon, other victims follow, all part of the same murderous ritual: each victim holds a coin and iş left in front of a hıstorıcal monument, dating back to the reign of an emperor who ruled during the cıty's golden eras. The victims have something in common: they all have betrayed İstanbul. But what about the killer? We were lookıng at what we have lost along wıth our cıty, and we were lookıng at one another. Byzantıum, Constantinople, and İstanbul... Owners and inhabitants change, new names are acquired, different characters assumed, but one thing remains unchanged on the hıstorıcal peninsula: ıts timeless beauty. İn A Memento for İstanbul, Ahmet Ümit places this now-threatened beauty at the center of the story. While hypnotising the reader wıth a high tension detective novel, through the hıstorıcal insights he shares, he also strives to revive the consciousness of being an İstanbul citizen to the core. We were lookıng back at the cıty from out at sea. The sea was shrouded in a mist, our boat hidden from vıew; İstanbul was lost in the mist. Only the minarets of Sultanahmet Mosque, the dome of the Hagia Sophia and the turrets of Topkapı Palace were visible above the haze. The cıty seemed pure and untouched; unharmed, unblemished, the whıte of the mist veiling everything and anything which could blight the vıew. İt was lıke a vision from one of the myths of old, emerging for a fleeting moment before the light of the day… A newly founded cıty, a new start, shimmering in the grey light of dawn… Young, vibrant, full of hope… Ürün Adı: A Memento For Istanbul (İngilizce) Ürün Kodu: 9789750868535 Yazar: Ahmet Ümit Basım Yılı: 2026 Kapak Türü: Karton Kapak Sayfa Sayısı: 624 Kağıt Cinsi: 2.
