The four books tell the stories of an unforgettable cast of characters, among them: an Ottoman army officer, the Sultan's personal doctor, a scion of the royal house whose Western education brings him into conflict with his family's legacy, and a beguiling Turkish aristocrat who, while fond of her emancipated life in Paris, finds herself drawn to a conservative Muslim spiritual leader. Intrigue, betrayal, love, war, progress, and tradition provide a colourful backdrop against which their lives play out. All the while, the society to which they belong is transforming, and the Sublime Empire disintegrates. Here is a Turkish saga reminiscent of War and Peace, that traces not only the social currents of the time but also the erotic and emotional lives of its characters. 546 $a In English; translated from the original Turkish. 651 0 $a Turkey $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Turkey $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Turkey $x Social life and customs $y 19th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Turkey $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 7 $a Turkey. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208963 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Freely, Brendan, $d 1959- $e translator. 700 1 $a TuÌredi, Yelda, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191122015217.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C6FDF74462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
