Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Grasp of the Sultan It was a tiny coffee-house on a side street off Kara-kuey, and not more than half an hour´s walk from the Bridge of Galata. It was made of plain, unpainted boards, to which time and smoke had given a coating of black. Its sole ornament was a pergola, over which luxuriated a grapevine, the hard, green fruit hanging down into space. The pergola extended over the whole sidewalk, obviously meant for pedestrians; but the cafedji was a Turk, and ignored the rights of pedestrians. He appropriated the sidewalk with the same air of ownership as did the shadow of his grapevine. A dozen low, rustic stools filled the sidewalk, for the convenience of the patrons of the coffee-house, and to the inconvenience of all others, who on muddy days were forced to go out into the mud, ankle-deep.
