A very RARE and beautiful and interesting book...."Beyond the Bosphorus" written by Lady Dorothy Mills in 1926. Inside 35 photographic illustrated in 24 plates. Lady Dorothy Mills who started her Istanbul journey with a wrong train, noticed this in Budapest and got off the train in Romania border, after all succeeds to got on the Sofia Express. She became very happy when she arrived to Istanbul. However the pouring rain, her wet aching feet, cold wind of Bosphorus, seeing her dreams about the city were not real made her unhappy and she did not love Istanbul. Afterwards Istanbul, with its mosques especially Hagia Sophia (St. Sophia), its Grand Bazaar, Bosphorus and with its all other beauty impressed Doroty Mills. The writer continues her journey visiting Ankara, South Anatolia, Syria, Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv, Jordan and Iraq, wrote her observations about historical, geographical, cultural and social qualities of countries, qualities and traditions of nations of the countries that she travelled as a diary with a riveting style.
