Publisher's description:

Istanbul's Galata Bridge connects the old city with the more Western districts to the north. But the bridge is a city in itself, peopled by merchants, petty thieves, tourists, fishermen, and at the same time a microcosmic reflection of Turkey as the link between Asia and Europe. This work presents stories of the bridge's denizens.
