Items related to The Ottomans: Dissolving Images
The author teases out those qualities which were uniquely Ottoman - not Turkish, not Middle Eastern or even a shadowy echo of the West, they were born warriors from the steppes of Central Asia who became a singular urban culture. Their legacy still lives on in the Middle East and parts of Europe and the author recovers their long-forgotten and half-understood culture and analyzes their success.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. This copy is in new, unmarked condition bound in burgundy cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square.

International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. The author teases out those qualities which were uniquely Ottoman - not Turkish, not Middle Eastern or even a shadowy echo of the West, they were born warriors from the steppes of Central Asia who became a singular urban culture. Their legacy still lives on in the Middle East and parts of Europe and the author recovers their long-forgotten and half-understood culture and analyzes their success. The book also follows some events from Ottoman history, with a heavy emphasis on the reforms and the changes that took place in the 19th Century. As a matter of fact a good portion of the book follows the outlines of the 'Auspicious Event' - that is the downfall of the Janissaries; as well as Sultan Abdul Hamid's policy of reforms. The earlier parts of the book also looks at the conquest of Constantinople in 1453; as well as the Golden Age of Suleiman the Lawgiver. Other highlights include a look at Constantinople, which despite the beautiful paintings of the period, was actually more like dirty slum than a city of shining palaces. Ref YYY 2.
