A Dog of Constantinople is a novel written by Izora Cecilia Chandler and published in 1896. The story is set in the city of Constantinople (now Istanbul) and revolves around a stray dog named Balthasar. Balthasar is a gentle and loyal dog who wanders the streets of the city, making friends with the people he meets. He becomes particularly attached to a young girl named Zaida, who takes him in and cares for him. As the story unfolds, Balthasar becomes involved in a series of adventures and mishaps. He helps to rescue Zaida from a dangerous situation and becomes a hero in the eyes of the people of Constantinople. However, he also faces danger and hardship, including being captured by dog catchers and nearly dying from starvation. Throughout the novel, Balthasar's adventures are used as a lens through which to explore the social and cultural landscape of Constantinople. The novel provides a vivid portrayal of life in the city, including its customs, traditions, and religious practices. It also touches on themes such as loyalty, friendship, and the bond between humans and animals. Overall, A Dog of Constantinople is a heartwarming and engaging story that offers a unique perspective on a fascinating historical city.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
