The novel opens with the attempted suicide of Hikmet Bey, the son of the sultans personal physician. The reason for his extreme gesture was to forget the extremely beautiful and proud Mehpare Han m, his wife and the cause of all his suffering. While Hikmet is recovering in a hospital in Thessaloniki, slowly regaining his strength and will to live, radical changes are afoot in the Ottoman capital. The power of the sultan is eroding, a rebellion is brewing, and violence erupts on the streets of Istanbul. It is the eve of one of the key events that will lead to the collapse of the Empire: the countercoup of 1909. With striking clarity and imaginative power, Altan evokes the traumas and upheavals of Ottoman history, showing how - over a hundred years later - the events and wounds of that time still resonate in the tensions and contradictions of todays Turkey. *** Quantity Available: 1.
