Publisher Description:
La tumba de un caballo convertido en lugar de peregrinaci n, una alfombra que predijo la muerte de Mustafa Kemal Atat rk, unos pedazos de la Piedra Negra de La Meca, una sinagoga que sirvi de referencia a los proxenetas asquenaz es, el manto del profeta Mahoma que plancharon por accidente, un pu ado de cenizas calientes que salvaron el imperio otomano, una de las doce tumbas de un santo dentro de un faro, la escultura de un repollo como recuerdo de haza as deportivas del palacio de Topkapi, el rastro de Basil Zaharoff, comerciante de armas que apareci en Tint n y la oreja rota, un incre ble caf dentro de una sinagoga, unos edificios art nouveau desconocidos, una mezquita contra los terremotos, la cabeza de Dr cula en Estambul, unos grafitis vikingos en Santa Sof a... Lejos de las multitudes y de los habituales clich s, Estambul guarda tesoros bien escondidos que solo desvela a los habitantes y viajeros que buscan salirse de los recorridos habituales. Una gu a indispensable para quienes cre an conocer bien Estambul o para aquellos que desean descubrir la otra cara de la ciudad. A horse's tomb that has become a place of pilgrimage, a tree held up by a pillar in the garden of a Sufi convent that would herald the end of the world if it fell down, Mustafa Kemal Atat rk's glass, a carpet that predicts the end of the Ottoman empire, fragments from the Black Stone of Mecca, the covering of a fountain from Pearl Harbor in the Pacific, a church under the protection of Muhammad, a synagogue that was a landmark for Ashkenazi Jews, a garment worn by the Prophet that was inadvertently ironed, a handful of hot ash that saved the Ottoman empire. Far from the crowds and the usual clich s, Istanbul is still a reserve of well-concealed treasures only revealed to those who know how to wander off the beaten track, whether residents or visitors. An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew Istanbul well, or who would like to discover the hidden face of the city.
