Bill Seretis is a twenty years old uneducated, penniless man and his strong legs and talent as a soccer player are all he has going for him. With these assets he wants to conquer the soccer fields, to capture the colorful headlines of the sports papers, and to have himself crowned king on Sundays. After a two-year stint on dirt soccer fields, cheap hotels, "thrown" games, the loneliness of the countryside and hasty affairs with women of every sort, the dream comes true at a major Athens team. However, as soon as he touches it the dream vanishes. The soccer establishment and the vested interests of special groups crush Bill.
Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz discovered the Orient in 1877, touring Syria, Egypt, Turkey, and the Crimea with Władysław Branicki. This experience made a profound impression on him, and he was to continuously revisit Eastern themes in his works for the rest of his life.
The series of paintings depicting the audience ceremonies of European ambassadors hold a unique place among the works of Jean-Baptiste Vanmour of Valenciennes, who lived in İstanbul from 1699 until his death in 1737.
Inspired by the exhibition Istanbuls Today, Today's Stories series continues with Özge Baykan Calafato's story "Cihangir"! This series gathers short stories written by authors encouraged by the photographs in the exhibition.
