«De brug» is the historical essay by Geert Mak, published by Stichting CPNB in hardcover (91 pages, in Dutch).
«De brug» portrays life on the Istanbul bridge that links Europe and Asia, through the stories of street vendors: the umbrella seller, the bookseller, the tobacco boys. Stories of poverty, family, religion, honor and survival compose a portrait of present-day Turkey and the tension between tradition, Islam and modernity.

For readers of historical and social nonfiction interested in Istanbul and the debate on identity, Islam and modernity.
