Il grande Maometto il Conquistatore, nelle stanze del palazzo reale di Costantinopoli appena sottomessa, andava recitando una triste poesia persiana. Trovandosi di fronte all'immensità della sua conquista, il vincitore dell'ultimo basileus non poteva evitare di provare la malinconia della decadenza. Tra il Trecento e il Novecento gli ottomani edificarono un enorme impero incastrato tra Occidente e Oriente, con il chiaro proposito di unire l'Asia e l'Europa.

Ispirato ai ricordi familiari dell'autrice, il racconto della tragedia di un popolo "mite e fantasticante", gli armeni, e la struggente nostalgia per una terra e una felicità perdute. La masseria delle allodole è la casa, sulle colline dell'Anatolia, dove nel maggio 1915, all'inizio dello sterminio degli armeni da parte dei turchi, vengono trucidati i maschi della famiglia, adulti e bambini, e da dove comincia l'odissea delle donne, trascinate fino in Siria attraverso atroci marce forzate e campi di prigionia.

Long neglected in world history, the Ottoman Empire was a hub of intellectual fervor, geopolitical power, and enlightened pluralistic rule. Yet, despite its towering influence and centrality to the rise of our modern world, the Ottoman Empire's history has for centuries been distorted, misrepresented, and even suppressed in the West. Now Alan Mikhail presents a vitally needed recasting of Ottoman history, retelling the story of the Ottoman conquest of the world through the dramatic biography of Sultan Selim I (1470-1520).

The images that are evoked when one speaks of the Ottomans in the West is, without fail, Muslims in prayer, harems of exotic women, eunuch guards, lavish palaces, and colorful fashions. All these things, without doubt, were indeed part and parcel of the Ottoman society and their royal court. Here we will dive into their world, their history, and their society. The rise and fall of the Ottoman juggernaut informs and influences the Middle East to this day.

Era dai tempi di Atatürk che un uomo non dominava la Turchia così a lungo come Erdogan. Erdogan arrivò al potere nel 2002, un anno dopo la nascita del suo partito AKP, e fu Primo Ministro per undici anni, prima di diventare, ad agosto del 2014, il primo presidente a elezione diretta nella storia della nazione. In teoria, il suo sarebbe stato un ruolo prestigioso ma di cerimonia, con scarso potere politico concreto. Ma la sua ambizione di dare all'incarico poteri più consistenti non sono mai state troppo velate.

Alev Scott's odyssey began when she looked beyond Turkey's borders for contemporary traces of the Ottoman Empire. Their 800-year rule ended a century ago - and yet, travelling through 12 countries from Kosovo to Greece to Palestine, she uncovers a legacy that's vital and relevant, where medieval ethnic diversity meets 21st-century nationalism, and displaced people seek new identities.

In this comprehensive guide to understanding more about historical events, you will learn more about the sultans, and citizens of the Ottoman Empire - their drive, their background, and their accomplishments throughout the centuries.
