Förlagets beskrivning
Suleiman the Magnificent, Ottoman sultan and ruler of an empire of 30
million people, stretching over three continents and embracing almost all knwon
races and religions, dominated Europe for over half a century. Andre Clot's
account is a portrait of this complex figure and of the Ottoman empire at its
apogee. Aided by his grand viziers, Suleiman the Law-giver (as he is known to the
Turks) set up a remarkable administration, developed a flourishing economy and
made Istanbul the greatest and most cosmopolitan city in the world. Based not only on a selection of European sources, but also on modern
Turkish studies, this book views Sulaiman's career both within a European
framework and from an ottoman point of view. There are chapters on social and
economic history, city and country life and the interply of intellectual and
religious currents. The 16 appendices cover topics as diverse as the Turkish
bath, the Dervish orders, the Janissaries, the career of the Grand Vizier
Sokollu Mehmet Pasha, and Islam and painting. A portrait of Suleiman the Magnificent - one of the most illustrious
Ottoman sultans, this work views his career both within a European framework
and from an Ottoman point of view. Included are chapters on social and economic
history, city and country life and intellectual and religious currents.
