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. 600 00 $a Sinan, $c Mimar, $d 1489 or 1490-1588 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Architects $z Turkey $y 16th century $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Mihrimah Sultan, $d 1522-1578 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Turkey $x Social life and customs $y 16th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Turkey $x History $y SuÌleyman I, 1520-1566 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Turkey $x History $y Ottoman Empire, 1288-1918 $v Fiction. 600 07 $a Mihrimah Sultan, $d 1522-1578. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01927421 600 07 $a Sinan, $c Mimar, $d 1489 or 1490-1588. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01847679 650 7 $a Architects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813114 650 7 $a Manners and customs $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 7 $a Turkey $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208963 648 7 $a 1288-1918 $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214031557.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0EB54C5A72D911EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
