Realising the importance of these memoirs as a unique record of life during the final decades of the Ottoman Empire, Panos Tzelepis published them in two volumes, the first appearing in 1965 under the title "In the Time of the Sultans."
In this first collection of urban chronicles we encounter colourful characters, from a Jewish doctor who treated the poor, the owner of a secret hash-den, the madam of a high-class brothel, to the lives of the kabadayi, or "tough guys," who developed their own codes of honour, conduct and social justice in the sprawling multi-cultural metropolis that was Istanbul towards the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th.
Translated into English for the first time by Charles Howard, a prominent archiver and compiler of rebetiko music, Tzelepis's literary renderings of Istanbul and its people are given new life in a book brimming with intricate and dazzling details of a world that has long since vanished.

On his return to Athens in 1922 he first engaged in graphic design work. In the two decades that followed, Tzelepis established himself as one of the foremost representatives of modernist architecture in Greece.
At the end of World War Two he moved to Paris, where besides working as an architect he also published his rst book in French in 1947, which was a study of architecture for children.
He later returned to Greece in 1956, where he dedicated himself mainly to writing.
Tzelepis died in Athens in 1976.
