Über diesen Titel
A major new history of the 600-year dynasty that connected East to West as never before.
The Ottoman Empire has long been depicted as the Islamic Asian antithesis of the Christian European West. But the reality was starkly different: the Ottomans' multiethnic, multilingual, and multireligious domain reached deep into Europe's heart. In their breadth and versatility, the Ottoman rulers saw themselves as the new Romans.
Recounting the Ottomans' remarkable rise from a frontier principality to a world empire, Marc David Baer traces their debts to their Turkish, Mongolian, Islamic and Byzantine heritage, how they used both religious toleration and conversion to integrate conquered peoples, and how, in the 19th century, they embraced exclusivity, leading to ethnic cleansing, genocide and the dynasty's demise after the First World War. Upending Western concepts of the Renaissance, the Age of Exploration, the Reformation, this account challenges our understandings of sexuality, orientalism and genocide.
Radically retelling their remarkable story, The Ottomans is a magisterial portrait of a dynastic power and the first to truly capture its cross-fertilisation between East and West.

Fantastic, modern, yet not overly so, overview
The books introduction is very strong, one of the few cases where the introduction really adds to the book as a whole, it draws you in and establishes the mindset that you should have when approaching Turkey and in particular the Ottoman kingdom and its rulers. Turkey is an amazing country mired in paradox relationships; at once there is great beauty in the people, culture and history, but at the same time there is ugliness and ceaseless conflicts. This could probably be said of every place but I find it particularly applicable because in Turkey the positives and negatives are really extreme to some degree. The ottoman empire is the foundation of modern Turkey and in many ways has given it many of its modern problems, religious, social, cultural, political, secularism, bureaucracy, Europe or Asia, love and hate. The book delves into almost every aspect to some degree, although it is mainly about politics and geopolitical, secular and religious power and how all these interlock. The book leaves you with the impression that Turkey is much more European than probably some countries in modern day Europe, and that being Asian, Turkic, Roman or European is not necessarily bad or good, but that its all part of a legacy and a cultural communal past. The world does not evoke the ideas of 'love everyone' but to embrace the shared experiences of being European and Turkic/Ottoman, and indeed of being human, because none of these experiences are connected to this or that people, but are deeply human. I recommend this highly, the speaker is also lovely, he has a distinct british accent, which I dont necessarily see as a plus, but he sounds more like a cosmopolitan intellectual than anything and his attempts at Turkish pronounciation are not perfect but its better than nothing, then again I am not Turkish, so I am not the best judge probably. Enjoy the book if you are somewhat interested in history and have a credit to spare.

a masterpiece
Finally a balanced, well researched, masterly presented history of the Ottoman Empire. It provides both an historic overview as well as an account of Ottoman society and it's people, without any leaning to any side. An objective masterpiece of of our neighbours and friends history mentioning both its greatest well its worst achievements.
