A literary tour-de-force, this vivid account of an infamous Ottoman sultan's life in exile is also a powerful indictment of the hypocrisies of the West, from the internationally bestselling author of Disquiet. Abd lhamid II ruled the Ottoman Empire for thirty-three years, from 1876 to 1909, when he was deposed following the Young Turk Revolution and sent into exile in Thessaloniki. Now, more than a century after that fateful night of April 27, Z lf Livaneli brings to life the fascinating later days of the overthrown sultan, who precipitated the empire's collapse. Based on the memoirs of Atif H seyin Bey, personal physician to Abd lhamid and his entourage in exile, this vibrant historical novel explores the nature of power while painting a nuanced psychological portrait of the man who oversaw progressive reforms yet became known as the "Red Sultan" for the Armenian massacres during his reign.
Ideal for readers interested in historical fiction.
