Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Istanbul, 1899. The last great Islamic empire is in serious trouble. The family of Iskender Pasha, an Ottoman notable, has retired to its summer palace. Then a former tutor poses a question which the family has been refusing to confront for almost a century: 'Your Ottoman Empire is like a drunken prostitute, neither knowing nor caring who will take her next. Do I exaggerate, Memed?' This passionate story of jealousies, betrayals and vendettas charts the decay of the Empire and the rise of a new generation which is deeply hostile to the myths of the 'golden days.' The power of the 'Islam Quintet' lies both in the story-telling and its challenge against stereotyped images of life under Islam. This book is the third novel of Ali's Islam quartet, and is the fictional history of the Pasha family, which mirrors the turbulence and growing degeneration of the Empire. Like its predecessors, its power lies in its lyrical story-telling and the challenges it poses to Islamic stereotypes.
