Swiss novelist Metin Arditi has released the final volume of his Constantinople Trilogy. The work delves into the complex historical identity of the city, framing it as a meeting point for the legacies of Athens, Rome, and Jerusalem. A central theme of the narrative is the profound nostalgia experienced by minority communities. Specifically, Arditi focuses on those forced to flee Turkey following the violent pogroms of 1955. Through his writing, he captures the displacement and cultural loss of these populations. The trilogy serves as a literary exploration of Byzantium's enduring influence. It highlights the tragic intersection of diverse faiths and ethnicities in a changing political landscape.
