Istanbul is a sensual wonder. The smells of the spice bazaar contrast with the sea breezes off the Bosporus. Wooden latticework buildings from the last century envelop Ottoman and Byzantine palaces of polished, shining marble and stucco brick. The music of the Orient mixes freely with sounds heard throughout Western European cities. Most of all, the emotional experience is unforgettable, and Orhan Pamuk, the Pulitzer Prize winning literary wonder, captures every aspect for the reader."
