Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Since The Turks First Shattered The Glory Of The French Crusaders In 1396, The Ottoman Empire Has Exerted A Long, Strong Pull On Western Minds. For Six Hundred Years, The Empire Swelled And Declined. Islamic, Martial, Civilized, And Tolerant, In Three Centuries It Advanced From The Dusty Foothills Of Anatolia To Rule On The Danube And The Nile; At The Empire'S Height, Indian Rajahs And The Kings Of France Beseeched Its Aid. For The Next Three Hundred Years The Empire Seemed Ready To Collapse, A Prodigy Of Survival And Decay. Early In The Twentieth Century It Fell. In This Dazzling Evocation Of Its Power, Jason Goodwin Explores How The Ottomans Rose And How, Against All Odds, They Lingered On. In The Process He Unfolds A Sequence Of Mysteries, Triumphs, Treasures, And Terrors Unknown To Most American Readers.This Was A Place Where Pillows Spoke And Birds Were Fed In The Snow; Where Time Itself Unfolded At A Different Rate And Clocks Were Banned; Where Sounds Were Different, And Even The Hyacinths Too Strong To Sniff. Dramatic And Passionate, Comic And Gruesome, Lords Of The Horizons Is A History, A Travel Book, And A Vision Of A Lost World All In One.
