The Ottoman City Between East and West
Studies of early-modern Islamic cities have stressed the atypical or the idiosyncratic. This bias derives largely from orientalist presumptions that they were in some way substandard or deviant. The first purpose of this volume is to normalize Ottoman cities, to demonstrate how, on the one hand, they resembled cities generally and how, on the other, their specific histories individualized them. The second purpose is to challenge the previous literature and to negotiate an agenda for future study. By considering the narrative histories of Aleppo, Izmir and Istanbul, the book offers a departure from the piecemeal methods of previous studies, emphasizing their importance during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and highlighting their essentially Ottoman character. While the essays provide an overall view, each can be approached separately. Their exploration of the sources and the agendas of those who have conditioned scholarly understanding of these cities will make them essential student reading.

People Are Asleep They Wake Up When They Die
Many people are deceived by the transient splendor of worldly life and spend their lives pursuing their wishes and desires. They drift within life like leaves in the wind. They forget that one day they will die; and not only do they make no preparations regarding their afterlife, they also live a life of no meaning and no value. But death is the twin of life. It is born when we are born. Every breath taken is half life, half death. That is how close death is to us. Life is like the flame of a match between the darkness in the mother's womb and the darkness under the ground. It will only take a few moments to extinguish. Life passes by in the blink of an eye.
