"Voyage en Orient, Volume 2: Les nuits du Ramazan; De Paris à Cythère; Lorely" by Gérard de Nerval is a narrative work likely written in the late 19th century. This book serves as a travelogue that vividly recounts the author’s experiences in Constantinople, depicting the intertwining of cultures and the complex social tapestry of the city, especially during the month of Ramadan. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist reflects on the vibrant yet chaotic nature of Constantinople, contrasting its rich history with contemporary tensions. He recounts an unsettling incident in the Balik-Bazar, where he witnesses the decapitated body of an Armenian man, highlighting the religious fervor and violent repercussions of cultural transgressions in the city. Throughout the opening, the protagonist traverses the bustling bazaars, engages with diverse communities, and observes the melancholic figure of the Sultan, all while establishing a sense of foreboding amidst the beauty and complexity of this Oriental backdrop.
