the main point is how it could be?

elisa,
it is your time to answer my question
.....

I thought I answered your question? About the books? Or am I missing or overlooking something?

the book about istanbul...

Well I answered that, didn't I? My answer was the post where I asked for tips on books. So if you have interesting titles, please post them. I think a lot of people here will be interested.

Thanks
Elisa

i can't post the book in this site..
my prpblem is for exam: how could i send any book to u?
i think i have a problem to understand you...
....

Evet, I think we have a problem!

I didn't mean for you to literaly send me a book! I just meant (in general, for other posters as well) that if anyone knows interesting books, you can post the name of the author and / or the title here. Then we can go out ourselves and look for them if we want to.

Hope this makes it a bit clearer

that is more clear..

Provided your English is good enough, if you like reading novels, have a look at Maureen Freely's
translation of 'Kar' (Snow) by Orhan Pamuk. (Also available in German). It says alot about the modern Turkish consciousness. The quote from Dostoyevsky in satirising Russia's own 'Modernisers' is revealing: "Well then, eliminate the people, curtail them, force them to be silent. Because the European Enlightenment is more important than the people." Pamuk quotes this in the epigraph, and it shows something entirely symptomatic of Modern Turkey: the inherent hypocrisy of trying to dictate a secular, pro-European, democratic 'revolution'. But by no means allow this to put you off visiting, for the average Turk is a good and generous person all too keen to welcome and associate with Westerners. On a more practical note, I find 'Teach Yourself Turkish' (Geoffrey Lewis) in the well-known Hodder and Staughton series, even after 5 years residence here, continues to be a mine of indispensable information.

Guys I've read these 2 books about Turkey.. they're really very interesting, i found them good enough:

* "Travelers' Tales, Turkey" True Stories. Edited by: James Villers Jr.

** "A Fez of the Heart" by Jeremy Seal. Travels around Turkey in search of a hat. (I love this one! and dont worry, it's not about a hat )

Selamlar Sertab!
U wrote in the first post that you'd like to spend 1 or 2 months in İstanbul this summer. How will you get the two months visa? One month is avaiable on airport. Is visa for two months stay also avaiable on airport?
