About this audiobook
Two manuscripts in one book:
- The Ottoman Empire: An Enthralling Guide to One of the Mightiest and Longest-Lasting Dynasties in World History
- Suleiman the Magnificent: An Enthralling Guide to the Sultan Who Ruled during the Golden Age of the Ottoman Empire
Spanning three continents and controlling lands in the Balkans, the Caucasus, Crimea, Anatolia, the Middle East, the Levant, Egypt, and North Africa, the Ottoman Empire was one of the most menacing powers at the height of its power in the 16th century. It was feared by other great empires of Europe. But how exactly did the Ottomans achieve this great power, and how did they lose it by the early 20th century?
In the first part of this book, you will discover the following:
- The emergence of the Ottoman state under its first leader, Osman
- The different sultans of the empire and their reigns
- The fall of Constantinople and the Golden Age of the Ottoman Empire
- Different wars and political processes that shaped the empire’s history
Suleiman the Magnificent certainly earned his name. He not only had a huge impact on the history of Turkey and the Middle East but also on the European politics of his day, allying himself with France against the Habsburgs of Spain. He is also known for his life-long love affair with Roxelana, a slave girl who became his wife and, some say, co-ruler of the empire.
In the second part of the book, you will find out:
- Why Suleiman was a master goldsmith as well as a sultan
- How he became a major patron of the arts, employing the famous architect Sinan and changing the skyline of Istanbul
- Why he is known to the Turks as “Suleiman the Law Maker (Kanuni)”
