The Grandeur And Sultans Of The Ottoman Empire Kitabı

384 pages, 375 Illustartions.; Hardbound with slipcase, No matter how many works are published on Ottoman history or how diverse the angles may be in scrutinizing that history may be, they are all a mere drop in the proverbial bucket. This work entitled 'The Grandeur and Sultans of the Ottoman Empire' was designed to serve as a medium to promote this impressive cultural and historical heritage. While we're aware it is just not feasible to tell everything about the Ottomans in a single volume, we're very proud to say we've taken a significant step in that direction. After all, this was an entity that sprouted from being a mere principality of around 400 tents to a state, and from that state to eventually become a massive empire that ruled over three continents while lasting more than 600 years. While preparing our book, we committed ourselves to three essential concepts. The first was to bring to bear that the Ottoman State was not only about wars, expeditions or seductive, insatiable palace tales about the sultans, most of which amount to unsubstantiated rumors. The second was to point out the cultural and artistic wealth that held sway over the world for six centuries. The fact that the majority of the 36 sultans were poets and calligraphers, and that some of these sultans were musicians and composers, as well as their involvement in other branches of art are matters that are generally left unknown or not dealt with. While turning the pages of this history, we also wanted to touch upon these characteristics and introduce them from a broader spectrum rather than merely discussing our ancestors' abilities to rule the world.
