In 1540, twelve-year-old Jahan arrives in Istanbul. As an animal tamer in the sultan's menagerie, he looks after the exceptionally smart elephant Chota and befriends (and falls for) the sultan's beautiful daughter, Princess Mihrimah. A palace education leads Jahan to Mimar Sinan, the empire's chief architect, who takes Jahan under his wing as they construct (with Chota's help) some of the most magnificent buildings in history. Yet even as they build Sinan's triumphant masterpieces-the incredible Suleymaniye and Selimiye mosques-dangerous undercurrents begin to emerge, with jealousy erupting among Sinan's four apprentices. A memorable story of artistic freedom, creativity, and the clash between science and fundamentalism, Shafak's intricate novel brims with vibrant characters, intriguing adventure, and the lavish backdrop of the Ottoman court, where love and loyalty are no match for raw power"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20150401. 600 00 $a Mihrimah Sultan, $d 1522-1578 $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Sinan, $c Mimar, $d 1489 or 1490-1588 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Architects $z Turkey $y 16th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Turkey $x Social life and customs $y 16th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Turkey $x History $y S©ơleyman I, 1520-1566 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Turkey $x History $y Ottoman Empire, 1288-1918 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. 941 $a 9 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909034202.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20220401024132.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722045317.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006085843.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171220050800.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926032154.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20150829010512.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20150602011301.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20150430010154.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=919E1204DE8111E49B1BDBA0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
