Embracing the Mountains
With Turkey in the midst of the Second World War, the city of Kayseri finds itself being depleted of men and resources. While the country contemplates its future in the face of the Germans massed at its borders, the people struggle to survive the hunger -and the fear- into which they have been plunged. Meanwhile, the legendary outlaw Osman continues to roam the mountains of Kayseri, sheltered by the people who revere him. However, the people's reverence is not shared by all, and so when some men in high places decide that they want Osman out of the mountains, the scheming runs rampant. Osman is offered amnesty if he'll only come down from the mountains - or is it a trap? Skeptical of the authorities, Osman hesitates to accept the offer, perhaps losing precious time in the process, for when the hefty reward for his head blurs the line between friend and foe, Osman finds that he has finally met his match...
A Light Onto a Tradition and Culture
This richly illustrated book is a lively jaunt through the history, traditions, and culture of the Turkish bath (with entertaining descriptions of traditional customers and staff, and the various activities carried out there), while it is also a detailed guide to bath etiquette and to the fifty remaining historical baths in Istanbul (some dating to the 15th century).
Abdullah Gül and the Making of the New Turkey
Drawing on original research, including personal interviews with President Abdullah Gül as well as his wife and close circle of colleagues and friends, this fascinating account offers readers a portrait of a man who has been at the heart of the political, economic and cultural developments that have brought Turkey to international prominence in recent years. In 2002 Abdullah Gül’s democratically-elected party gained power and challenged Turkey’s republican and secular legacy, and shortly after Gül led Turkey’s attempts to receive an accession date for the European Union. In 2007 he became the first president of Turkey with a background in Islamic politics – causing political commentators to hail his victory as a “new era in Turkish politics” – and he has, ever since, been a major figure in Turkey’s diplomatic relationships in the Middle East and international political arena. Gerald MacLean’s absorbing biography of this significant politician throws light on important episodes of Turkey’s recent history.
Ottoman Propaganda and Turkish Identity
The Great War was the first example of a total war in history, reflected in the cultures and literatures of Europe in the shape of propaganda. What began as civic patriotism developed into a weapon of war, programmed and organized by the state to devastating effect. In almost all countries, writers of different ideological hues were ready to undertake the job of representing the war, in accordance with the state's guidance. War propaganda in the Ottoman Empire, the most anachronistic belligerent of the war according to historians, was condemned to failure. In the underdeveloped and multi-ethnic Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman-Turkish intelligentsia could not produce adequate propaganda to suppor...
Türk Edebiyatı ve Birinci Dünya Savaşı (1914-1918)
Birinci Dünya Savaşı, ülkemizde yeterince araştırılmamış bir konudur. Bu savaş ile edebiyat ve propaganda arasındaki ilişki ise neredeyse bütünüyle ihmal edilmiştir. Erol Köroğlu’nun kitabı işte bu boşluğu dolduruyor. Propaganda alanındaki başarının ülkelerin gelişmişliğine göre değiştiğine işaret eden yazar, Osmanlı Devleti’nin bu yöndeki çabalarını ve başarısızlığını derinlemesine araştırıyor. Yazara göre, ulus-devlet oluşumu açısından bütün dost ve düşmanlarının gerisinde kalan, propaganda için gerekli maddî altyapıdan yoksun olan Osmanlı İmparatorluğu, edebiyat ve kültürünü seferber etmekte çok zorlanmıştı. Os...

The Life of Nancy
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
