About This Book

The author presents a personal, impressionistic portrait of a great city straddling past and present, combining travel observations, architectural and social sketches, and reflections on local customs. He records mosque yards, gardens, fountains, houses, village life, and street scenes, highlights the effects of recent political change, and counters Western stereotypes by dwelling on picturesque and admirable features. The work blends documentary chapters with travel anecdotes, occasional historical notes and a selective reading list, offering a snapshot of a society undergoing transformation while preserving scenes of enduring character.
