About the author

Pierre Jules Théophile Gautier was a French poet, dramatist, novelist, journalist, and literary critic. In the 1830 Revolution, he chose to stay with friends in the Doyenné district of Paris, living a rather pleasant bohemian life. He began writing poetry as early as 1826 but the majority of his life was spent as a contributor to various journals, mainly for La Presse, which also gave him the opportunity for foreign travel and meeting many influential contacts in high society and in the world of the arts, which inspired many of his writings including Voyage en Espagne (1843), Trésors d'Art de la Russie (1858), and Voyage en Russie (1867). He was a celebrated abandonnée of the Romantic Ballet, writing several scenarios, the most famous of which is Giselle. His prestige was confirmed by his role as director of Revue de Paris from 1851-1856. During this time, he became a journalist for Le Moniteur universel, then the editorship of influential review L'Artiste in 1856. His works include: Albertus (1830), La Comédie de la Mort (1838), Une Larme du Diable (1839), Constantinople (1853) and L'Art Moderne (1856)

Reviews

[Ego sum qui sum]

Téophile Gautier es capaz de transmitir en este libro el ambiente q se respiraba en la Constantinopla de mediados del siglo XIX a través de un colorido relato de cierto sabor costumbrista. Un libro interesante para aquel que quiera introducirse en las costumbres de la Constantinopla otomana en un punto de inflexión histórico que supuso el abandono progresivo de dichas costumbres a favor de una creciente euripización

Bir seyyah kitabına niye böyle iddialı isim koyar? Şair olduğu için herhalde…

19. yyda Fransa’dan gelen bir seyyah İstanbul’a nasıl bakarsa onu yazmış: oryantal bir merak, samimi bir tecrübe etme iştiyakı, sokak hayvanlarının şehrin parçası olmasına gıpta etme, şehirlilerin mezarlıklarda pineklemesine hayret etme, Batılı bir bakış açısıyla hüküm ve kapanış. Mevlevi ayine ve semaha (Cerrahi?) olan hatıralar kitabın en akıcı yerleri. Ben bu kitabı Orhan Pamuk’un İstanbul’undan bahisle okumuştum, gene ona dönmek en iyisi
