'Exquisitely written and lavishly illustrated, this delightful book
brings five centuries of Ottoman culture to life. Diana Darke
constantly amazes the reader with fascinating facts and points of
relevance between the Ottoman past and the present day' - Eugene
Rogan, author of The Fall of the Ottomans A richly illustrated
guide to the Ottoman Empire, 100 years since its dissolution,
unravelling its complex cultural legacy and profound impact on
Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. At its height, the
Ottoman Empire spread from Yemen to the gates of Vienna.Western
perceptions of the Ottomans have often been distorted by
Orientalism, characterizing their rule as oppressive and
destructive, while seeing their culture as exotic and
incomprehensible. Based on a lifetime's experience of living and
working across its former provinces, Diana Darke offers a unique
overview of the Ottoman Empire's cultural legacy one century after
its dissolution. She uncovers a vibrant, sophisticated civilization
that embraced both arts and sciences, whilst welcoming refugees
from all ethnicities and religions, notably Christians and
Jews.Darke celebrates the culture of the Ottoman Empire, from its
aesthetics and architecture to its scientific and medical
innovations, including the first vaccinations. She investigates the
crucial role that commerce and trade played in supporting the
empire and increasing its cultural reach, highlighting the
significant role of women, as well as the diverse religious values,
literary and musical traditions that proliferated through the
empire. Beautifully illustrated with manuscripts, miniatures,
paintings and photographs, The Ottomans: A Cultural Legacy presents
the magnificent achievements of an empire that lasted over 600
years and encompassed Asian, European and African cultures,
shedding new light on its complex legacy.
