Suleiman the Magnificent Sultan of the East - E-book - ePub

An outstanding scholar of the East, author Harold Lamb here presented another one of his brilliant, carefully worked, and blazingly colorful tapestries of a man and his era - in this case, it is Suleiman, wisest and strongest of the Sultans of Turkey, who lived during the dying days of the Renaissance. Suleiman was building an invincible empire to the East. Drawn at first by temperament and beliefs toward Europe, Suleiman learned that the Christian rulers would never regard him as one of them and, in the end, turned his back upon the West.
A rich plum pudding of little-known history for the scholar!
