Unto the Tulip Gardens: Anthem Cosmopolis Writings

Autor Gul Irepoglu Traducere de Feyza Howell
en Limba Engleză Paperback

The sumptuous Topkapı Palace in eighteenth century Istanbul is a place of breathtaking splendour where human foibles, love, lust and above all greed reign supreme in the lives of a sultan, a painter, a grand vizier and some of the world's most beautiful women. NP] Imperial favour has raised a graceful blossom to the symbol of a time that history would later name the Tulip Era. Sultan Ahmed III reigns over a still vast empire as his close companion and Chief Imperial Painter Levn creates exquisite works of art. But real power lies with his trusted Grand Vizier İbrahim Pasha. In the background, the radiant denizens of the imperial harem fight for supremacy in their cloistered universe. NP] How will history record Sultan Ahmed III? Hedonist, aesthete or reformer? What will happen to his descendants? NP] Levn barely remembers his own Christian family before he was selected as a child tribute and raised into high office by the mighty Ottoman Empire. But who is he really? NP] Will the Grand Vizier's quest for ultimate power yield results? NP] How does an imperial wife justify her own wickedness? NP] And conversely, what makes another so loyal for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer? NP] For whose shadow will the tulip gardens long when their world comes crashing down? NP] 'Unto the Tulip Gardens: My Shadow' is a novel founded on historical fact woven by the silken yarn of imagination.
