The author of the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize finalist Notes on a Foreign Country, Hansen explores Turkey's place in the world as no other writer has.

Cumhuriyet, Türkiye Üçlemesinin üçüncü kitabıdır (birincisi Diriliş, ikincisi Şu Çılgın Türkler).

Ders ve ibret verici, uyarıcı bir dönem.

This book tells the stories of the Muslims, Christians, Jews and others who made a courageous stand against the mass slaughter of Ottoman Armenians in 1915, the first modern genocide. Foreigners and Ottomans alike ran considerable risks to bear witness and rescue victims, sometimes sacrificing their lives. Diplomats, humanitarians, missionaries, lawyers and other visitors to the Empire stood up, including Tolstoy's daughter, Alexandra; Raphael Lemkin, the jurist who first established genocide as an international crime; and the polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen.

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. It's a story of surprises.

The Ottoman Empire lasted more than six centuries. Its soldiers fought, died, and conquered lands on three different continents, making it one of the few stable multi-ethnic empires in history - and likely one of the last. Thus, it's somewhat inevitable that the history of its dissolution is at the heart of complex geopolitical disputes, as well as sectarian tensions that are still key to understanding the Middle East, North Africa and the Balkans.

Among those who were responsible for the projection of Ottoman power, few deserve as much credit as the Sipahi. Civilizations across the steppes and the Middle East relied heavily on cavalry, and the Sipahi were elite cavalry units during medieval times for a couple of powers. That said, they were a massive contributor to the success of Ottoman warfare, and during good times for the empire, the Sipahi were rewarded, to the extent that they became their own social class, much like the Janissaries.

Entre 1915 y 1923, un millón y medio de armenios fueron deportados y asesinados de la manera más cruel. Fueron arrancados de sus hogares (en una tierra donde habían vivido por más tiempo de lo que la historia puede decir, una tierra tan antigua que muchos especulan que era el sitio del jardín bíblico del Edén) y enviados a marchas de la muerte a través del abrasador desierto sirio. Les dispararon en los umbrales de las casas donde criaban a sus hijos. Fueron masacrados con espadas de maneras devastadoras para desanimar a los que quedaban vivos.

America's engagement with the Arab world stretches back far beyond the Iraq wars. According to Milton Viorst, the current conflict is simply the latest round in a 1,400-year struggle between Christianity and Islam, in which the United States became a participant only in the last century.

Per dieci secoli Costantinopoli è stata l'altra Roma. Poi, in una giornata di primavera del 1453, tutto è cambiato. Roma s'inabissava, nasceva Istanbul. Una città eterna, prodigiosa, inquieta. Un luogo del mondo dove è possibile incrociare le storie di imperatrici belle e crudeli, di sultani folli e saggi, di schiave e avventurieri. Storie piccole e grandissime ritrovate e raccontate da un autore capace, come raramente accade, di fondere in un unico sguardo sapere e meraviglia.

Die Rolle des Osmanischen Reiches in der Weltgeschichte – von einem kleinen türkischen Fürstentum zu einer globalen Supermacht – ist unbestreitbar. Über sechs Jahrhunderte lang war das Reich das wohl stärkste muslimische Imperium der Welt und beherrschte seine Rivalen in Europa und Asien über viele Jahre hinweg.

Toward the middle of the 17th century, the Ottoman Empire is still at the apex of its power... Mehmed IV’s ascent to the throne at the age of six, however, greatly intensifies the struggles for power and control in the Sultan’s court. In a world dominated by men, two intelligent, beautiful and ambitious women wage an open war. The young Sultan’s grandmother and his mother fight over the regency: a severe battle in which all means are allowed to make sure only one of them would come out victorious. Who will overcome her adversary? Will it be the experienced Kösem Mahpeyker, who has ...

The long agony of the “sick man of Europe”, an expression used by the Tsar of Russia to depict the falling Ottoman Empire, could almost blind people to its incredible power and history. Preserving its mixed heritage, coming from both its geographic position rising above the ashes of the Byzantine Empire and the tradition inherited from the Muslim Conquests, the Ottoman Empire lasted more than six centuries. Its soldiers fought, died, and conquered lands on three different continents, making it one of the few stable multi-ethnic empires in history, and likely one of the last.

You are in luck, because you are getting extra material out of this combo. The following topics are going to be addressed: the Akkadian Empire, one of the oldest civilizations we know of, dating back to a few thousand years BC; the Byzantine Empire, a vast empire that lasted for hundreds of years and has had a major impact on the world religions and politics even into the past century; the Mongolian Empire, which was not to be trifled with; and the Ottoman Empire, which was so big and lasted for so long, yet it is one of those empires that many common people have forgotten about.
