  • "In 1453, Mehmed the Conqueror entered Constantinople on a white horse, beginning an Ottoman love affair with the city that lasted until 1924, when the last Caliph hurriedly left on the Orient Express. This work charts the interaction between the vibrantly cosmopolitan capital of Constantinople and its ruling family."
  • "Mehmed II, au XVe siècle, avait parié sur la coexistence et la tolérance mutuelle et doté son empire d'une capitale multiculturelle et multinationale. Ce compromis ottoman tint bon plus de quatre siècles avant d'être emporté par les lames de fond du nationalisme moderne et de l'industrialisation.

  • "The Conqueror on a white horse. It ends with the hurried departure of the last Ottoman ruler, Abdulmecid on the Orient Express. In studying the five hundred years between those two events, the author goes beneath the surface of the bustling, cosmopolitan traveler's Constantinople to record the history of what was at once an imperial capital, a holy city, a trading entrepot, a pleasure resort and, in its cultural and intellectual life, a laboratory of modernization."
  • "Constantinople was occupied by British, French, and Italian forces. Within a broad chronological framework, here is the story of the city and of the impact the Ottoman Sultans and their dynasty had on it; here too are the families who settled in Constantinople and served the Sultans, among them the Turkish Koprulu, the Italian de Testa, the Greek Mavrocordatos and the Hashemites from Mecca. The story begins in 1453 with the triumphant entry into the city of Sultan Mehmed."
