Shrnutí Constantinople: Chapter 6

Co se stane

1. The narrator describes his fire-resistant lodging, its household, and the difficulty of navigating streets without signs or house numbers.
2. He explores alone and enters the Little Field, where daily work and recreation surround damaged Turkish graves.
3. He admires the distant city, then descends through poor lanes occupied by metalworkers, beggars, and heavily burdened porters.
4. At the Golden Horn, he watches harbor traffic and defends the beauty of distant views despite their dependence on perspective.
5. The late hour discourages a crossing, so he returns past the Tower of Galata to Pera.
6. A meal from a nearby inn disgusts him, and the drinking water adds to his disappointment.
