The Ottoman Empire. Six Centuries of History
19.99 €
The Ottoman Empire existed for six centuries: it began as a semi-nomadic chiefdom, by the end of the sixteenth century it occupied three continents and united under its rule many ethnic groups from Albanians and Armenians to Greeks and Slavs. The brilliant Porte, comparable in scope to the Roman Empire, was a truly unique state in the East. Having a significant influence on the history of Europe from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age, the Ottoman Empire was quite unlike it. French historian Olivier Bouquet has created a detailed portrait of this fascinating state, revealing all aspects of life in the empire: administration and government, diplomacy, army, religion, art, migrations within the country, and much more. Why did secular law operate alongside sharia in the empire? How did the sultans manage to spread Islam in Europe, which was foreign to it? What caused one of the first genocides of the 20th century? Answering these questions, the author opens before the reader the mysterious world of the East in all its diversity. "The long history of the Ottoman Empire developed under the influence of diverse processes that took place in many territories and in many eras. It began with the creation of a medieval state by the Ottomans and ended with the founding of the Turkish Republic in 1923" (Olivier Bouquet).
