Editorial Comments:
” . . . the fascinating city is a complicated place, many-layered, unpredictable, defying logic . . . “
” . . . the beautiful and sublime exists beside the mundane; the past beside modernity; chaos mingles with order . . . “
” . . . the description of such a city is a monumental task . . . “
” . . . the world’s most unusual city, civilization’s microcosm, today’s version of the Greek polis . . . “
” . . . a place containing in itself all imaginable potentialities, human yearnings, tragedy and enchantment . . . “
” . . . full of paradox, and therefore fascinating . . . “
