The Bridge: A Journey Between Orient and Occident
The Bridge: A Journey Between Orient and Occident is Geert Mak’s tale of Istanbul’s past and present as represented by the Galata Bridge, which has spanned the Golden Horn since the sixth century and is a constant reminder of Turkey as a link between Europe and Asia. Mak interweaves personal tales about the people he meets on his current day journey with vignettes of the larger picture of both Istanbul’s and Turkey’s history.
