Ottoman Empire: 1299-1923
About This Novel
At its peak in the 16th century, the Ottoman Empire was an empire spanning three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa. Its every move has a profound impact on the Eurasian continent. However, it gradually declined and became the "sick man of Europe" that was oppressed and exploited by Europe, and finally collapsed after the First World War. This book mainly tells the long history of the Ottoman Turkish Empire from the founding of the country at the end of the 13th century to the great speech of Mustafa Kemal, the father of Turkey, in 1927. It describes the historical development of the Ottoman Empire in 16 chapters. This book is vivid in style and informative in content. It is the first general history of the Ottomans in the English-speaking world that uses a large number of original Ottoman Turkish materials. Different from past works by Western scholars, it attempts to narrate this six-century history from a more neutral perspective. It is very popular in Turkey and has been highly recommended by Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk.
