Die Brücke von Istanbul: Eine Reise zwischen Orient und Okzident (Perfect Paperback)

I'm curious about what drew the author to this particular region and how his background influenced the narrative.

The book's detailed approach helped me understand the cultural and political nuances, but I wonder if it might be overwhelming for some readers.

The region's history is so multifaceted — I’d love to know how Geert Mak decided which voices or events to highlight.
