Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Turkey The history of Turkey has yet to be written. The standard authority is Von Hammer´s Geschichte des Osmanischen Reiches, of which there is a French translation, and from which many books have been compiled in many languages. In English, Von Hammer found an able condenser in Sir Edward Creasy, whose History of the Ottoman Turks is the best concise work we possess on the subject. Von Hammer, however, is not always accurate, despite his laborious research, and he is generally dull. A Turkish scholar, possessed of a sense of literary form, who would take the Austrian´s facts, collate them with the native annalists and historiographers, and present them with all the advantages of skilful arrangement and charm of style, would render a real service to historical literature. The present volume, however, makes no pretensions to fill the gap. All that is here attempted is to draw the main outlines of Turkish history in bold strokes, and thus try to leave a connected impression on the reader´s mind. In so small a compass it is impossible to be detailed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
