In the space of six years early in the seventeenth century, the Ottoman Empire underwent such turmoil and trauma—the assassination of the young ruler Osman II, the re-enthronement and subsequent abdication of his mad uncle Mustafa I, for a start—that a scholar pronounced the period's three-day-long dramatic climax "an Ottoman Tragedy." Under Gabriel Piterberg's deft analysis, this period of crisis becomes a historical laboratory for the history of the Ottoman Empire in the seventeenth century—an opportunity to observe the dialectical play between history as an occurrence and experience and history as a recounting of that experience. Piterberg reconstructs the Ottoman narration of this ...

The world has finally shifted from magician's rule to human rule. This expulsion of enchanted dictators was not without consequence. The new world has brought with it a horde of obstacles including the persecution of magicians, flamboyant insurrection, and the formation of a societal underbelly teeming with unbridled resentment for the human-dominated state. "Ibrahim" explores the shifting dynamics of two friends who find their roles of benefactor and recipient have been reversed in response to the changing times.
The author of the present volume aims to investigate the relationships between Romanians and nomadic Turkic groups (Pechenegs, Uzes, Cumans) in the southern half of Moldavia, north of the Danube Delta, between the tenth century and the great Mongol invasion of 1241-1242. The Carpathian-Danubian area particularly favoured the development of sedentary life, throughout the millennia, but, at various times, nomadic pastoralists of the steppes also found this area favourable to their own way of life. Due to the basic features of its landscape, the above-mentioned area, which includes a vast plain, became the main political stage of the Romanian ethnic space, a stage on which local communities had to cope with the pressures of successive intrusions of nomadic Turks, attracted by the rich pastures north of the Lower Danube. Contacts of the Romanians and of the Turkic nomads with Byzantium, Kievan Rus, Bulgaria and Hungary are also investigated. The conclusions of the volume are based on an analysis of both written sources (narrative, diplomatic, cartographic) and archaeological finds.

Kelimelerin anlatmaya mecalinin kalmadığı, sözlerin tükendiği, acıların tavana vurduğu zamanlar ve olaylar vardır. Bu tür travmların üzerinden yüzlerce yıl geçse de onlar söz söz, ses ses, türkü türkü, mani mani, efsane efsane dağa, ovaya olduğu gibi taşlara da sızarlar. Oralar lif lif, damar damar, mezar mezar, anıt anıt sızdıkları yürekleri yakmaya devam ederler. Zamanı ve mekanı aşarak derinden derine milletin yüreğine oturan ve aradan yüzlerce yıl geçse de toplumsal vicdanı yaralamış olan bu travmalar milletin kimliğinin bir parçasını oluştururlar. Türk toplumunun naif bir yanı da vardır. Kitlesel olarak duyulan bu acıları içselleşti...
