I'm going to start an Ottoman History book. Actually it's 7 books series by Johan Wilhelm Zinkeisen, goes until 1812. The whole series should be around 4500 pages so I'll probably stop after 2-3 books and read something else or read a fictional book at the same time. I love history but not sure I could go that far without a break.
jelaous. so jelaous.
always wanted to have that collection, it is not available here in Argentina.
Ottoman empire history is really hard to obtain here, most of the time books are too westernized and you feel some sort of judgement when analizing the period.
I want to get a book about Mevlevilik history. next time i go to istambul i will ask you about good bookstores if you dont mind.
Of course, I'd be happy to help.
Birds without Wings is a good book about Village life at the end of the ottoman rule.
