Synopsis

English summary: As the capital of what was an immense empire by the 16th century, Istanbul had become the most populated and powerful city in the world - the "Wonder of the East." But how was this sprawling city administered, managed and supplied, while protecting it from shortages, fires and epidemics ? Frederic Hitzel accepted the challenge of answering these questions. In addition to an abundantly documented history, readers will enjoy a picturesque and lively panorama of a city teeming with jewellers, potters, market gardeners and silk merchants. The author focuses on the people and daily lives of the inhabitants of the city which, from that point on in history, was to be respectfully called "Constantinople: the Well-Guarded." French description: Le 29 mai 1453, Constantinople, la capitale de l'Empire romain d'Orient, tombe sous la coupe des Ottomans. Le sultan Mehmed II decide d'en faire le nouveau centre politique du monde musulman. Istanbul voit rapidement affluer les richesses, se couvrir de monuments somptueux, et devenir l'une des principales places commerciales de la Mediterranee.L'histoire du commerce d'Istanbul se confond alors avec celle de ses marches et bazars. Son celebre Grand Bazar forme avec le temps un veritable labyrinthe ou s'amoncellent les marchandises les plus diverses et les plus precieuses: soieries, draps, etoffes brodees, bijoux, orfevrerie, armes. Les caravanserails et ruelles alentour sont affectes a la confection de babouches et bottines, de caftans et de pelisses d'autres, a la fabrication d'objets et mobiliers en cuivre ou en bois d'autres, enfin, a la vente d'essences parfumees, d'onguents, d'electuaires, d'epices et de cafe du Yemen. Les sultans eux-memes aiment s'y promener incognito s'informant des prix, mais aussi pour surprendre les propos du peuple.Le nombre croissant d'habitants de la capitale pose toujours davantage de problemes d'acheminement, de stockage et de distribution des denrees alimentaires et des matieres premieres destinees a l'industrie et a l'artisanat local. Ce sont la les defis quotidiens auxquels le gouvernement ottoman doit faire face.Frederic Hitzel, charge de recherche au CNRS, specialiste de l'histoire de l'Empire otoman, est l'auteur de divers ouvrages parmi lesquels Lempire ottoman, XVe-XVIIIe siecles.
