About this audiobook
Suleiman was the most famous sultan of the Ottoman empire in the sixteenth century. His reign meant an increase of interest in art, expanded regions under Muslim law, and hundreds of thousands of men employed in the army, ready to fight wars against surrounding nations. Political and law reforms took place, and in the matter of a short time span, much of the culture and society in the region had been changed.
The Ottoman Empire didn’t last, though, and after Suleiman’s death, the empire remained stagnant and went on a steady decline sometime later. In the beginning of the 20th century, there wasn’t much left of the once great empire.
In this book, you will find everything you need to know about Suleiman’s life, his mission, his victories, death, and the events that occurred after his death in the Ottoman Empire.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's so great that my dog gave it 5 stars. The articulation of the words in this audio book was fantastic, along with all the information contained in it. Based on that, I am happy that I got the book. It was well worth my time. Despite of the author's knowledge about the subject, the storyteller was still the element I was most amazed with. This is what really offered me on the book.
