About this audiobook
Suleiman the Magnificent is regarded as the greatest ruler of the Ottoman Empire.
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.
The exploits of this legendary ruler come to life in this audiobook. Enjoy a thrilling story of a man who changed history and brought the Ottoman Empire to new heights.
In this audiobook, 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)”
- How close he came to taking Vienna—twice!—and why he failed
- How the Ottoman Empire was run almost exclusively by former Christian slaves
- How Suleiman’s faithful slave Ibrahim rose to be Grand Vizier—and how he fell from favor
- How Suleiman was responsible for the execution of two of his sons
- Why Egypt was so important to the Ottoman Empire
- And how Suleiman may have been ultimately responsible for the creation of the croissant!
