Description:
New York: Macmillan., 1952 Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. Book Club Edition. Interesting novel set in Turkey and covering the end of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of the Young Turks and Ataturk.Ann Bridge has written a number of novels set in interesting locations, which she knew as the wife of a diplomat and which she describes well. Although the social ambiance of her early works (1930's) may reflect the attitudes of that time, those set in later periods display characters with an appalling assumption of social superiority and of patronising condescension that seems totally inappropriate in the modern world, and which make the stories seem rather too dated in style..

Description:
New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2006 Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st US Edition. It is 1836, and the world is entering the modern age. The sultan of the Ottoman Empire sees no choice but to follow suit, but right before he can announce sweeping changes, a wave of killings threatens the balance of power in his court. He calls on the only man he can trust to find the culprits. The author of the Ottoman history Lords of the Horizon here introduces a fictional hero of the late days of the empire. Yashim is both brilliant and near-invisible in his world, an investigator at ease in the great halls of the empire, in its streets, and even within its harems a thing possible only because Yashim is a eunuch. And what he finds implicates the outcast Janissaries, the former elite guard of the empire..

Istanbul: Yapi Kredi Yayinlari, 2014 Book. New. Soft cover. 1st Turkish Edition.. "It is the story of boza seller Mevlut, the woman to whom he wrote three years" worth of love letters, and their life in Istanbul. In the four decades between 1969 and 2012, Mevlut works a number of different jobs on the streets of Istanbul, from selling yoghurt and cooked rice, to guarding a car park. He observes many different kinds of people thronging the streets, he watches most of the city get demolished and re-built, and he sees migrants from Anatolia making a fortune; at the same time, he witnesses all of the transformative moments, political clashes, and military coups that shape the country. He always wonders what it is that separates him from everyone else - the source of that strangeness in his mind. But he never stops selling boza during winter evenings and trying to understand who his beloved really is. What matters more in love: what we wish for, or what our fate has in store? Do our choices…
