About the Book
The rich history of Turkey, with its relics of vanished civilizations and its unique location at the cross-roads of Eastern and Western cultures, is as alluring as Turkey’s neighborhoods where local residents enjoy a reputation of hospitality and show interest in foreign visitors. Through photographs of Turkey’s beautiful landscape and of Turkish people living life in their hometown neighborhoods, Edie Levenson has constructed a visual narrative that explores the title theme, Turkey: Between Two Worlds. The narrative focuses on how architectural and open spaces have been used by people, both in the present and in the past. As the narrative unfolds, the focus is revealed in greater depth, drawing heavily upon Edie’s personal interest in the lives of people of varied cultures.
