Description

The author seems to turn the pages of hundreds of European and Ottoman primary sources, ancient chronicles and old documents before the reader. The historian describes the Mediterranean during the Ottoman Empire as an endless system of social connections and networks, where the enmity between Christianity and Islam is diminishing. Emrag Gyurkan's stories feature both glorified and still unknown figures with their virtues and vices, strengths and weaknesses. The spies on its pages tirelessly plot intrigues, undergo brutal torture, gather invaluable information, and prowl from the cold shores of Britain to hot Iran. And the central place of this human sea is occupied by Istanbul, or the "capital of happiness", the oldest center for intelligence and agents from different parts of the world.

The edition is supplemented with a dictionary of Ottoman terms, which will be useful for both beginners and experts in the study of Turkish history.
