A Jewish Voice from Ottoman Salonica: The Ladino Memoir of Sa'adi Besalel a-Levi.
8vo, br. ed. text in english and ladino (turkish sefardi), pp.372. This book presents for the first time the complete text of the earliest known Ladino-language memoir, transliterated from the original script, translated into English, and introduced and explicated by the editors. The memoirist, Sa'adi Besalel a-Levi (1820-1903), wrote about Ottoman Jews' daily life at a time when the finely wrought fabric of Ottoman society was just beginning to unravel. His vivid portrayal of life in Salonica, a major port in the Ottoman Levant with a majority Jewish population, thus provides a unique window into a way of life before it disappeared as a result of profound political and social changes and the World Wars. Sa'adi was a prominent journalist and publisher, one of the most significant creators of modern Sephardic print culture. He was also a rebel who accused the Jewish leadership of Salonica of being corrupt, abusive, and fanatical; that leadership, in turn, excommunicated him from the Jewish community. The experience of excommunication pervades Sa'adi's memoir, which documents a world that its author was himself actively involved in changing.

Harris, George S and Nur Bilge Criss (ed.)
Studies in Atatürk's Turkey : the American Dimension
1st ed. - With bibliogr., index. - (The Ottoman Empire and its heritage ; volume 40). - 244 x 164 mm. Nearly all of the previous scholarship on Turkey and U.S. relations cover the Cold War period as well as current affairs with regard to security, strategy, and defense. Hence, the literature abounds with military orientation. This edited volume builds on a historical perspective and focuses on foreign relations, diplomacy, actors, mutual perceptions and reciprocity in diplomatic relations within the framework of the world conjuncture in the 1920s and 1930s. Relations with the U.S.A. have served as a balance in Turkey s Euro-Atlantic policy long before NATO was established. Likewise, re-building relations with the Republic of Turkey served U.S. interests in opening to the Near East and thus breaking away from its much lauded isolationist policy between the two world wars. Thus, the picture that emerges here is just as much a history of U.S. diplomacy as it is of Turkey.

Gli uscocchi. Pirati, ribelli, guerrieri tra gli imperi ottomano e asburgico e la Repubblica di Venezia
8vo, br. ed. pp.133. La vicenda degli uscocchi si colloca all'interno delle grandi lotte per il potere tra l'Impero ottomano, la Repubblica di Venezia e l'Impero degli Asburgo nel delicatissimo scacchiere adriatico tra il XVI e il XVII secolo, ma - a tutt'oggi - la documentazione storica non è stata studiata a sufficienza, e resta un mistero il loro stesso nome, che persino vocabolari ed enciclopedie descrivono in maniera discordante e imprecisa. Il termine, dal serbo/croato uskok, "fuggiasco", ha poi assunto negli anni molti altri significati: "profughi", "migranti", "predatori", "assalitori", "disertori", "ribelli", "guerrieri", "pirati". L'epoca degli uscocchi, che in origine svolgevano un'utile funzione militare come primo baluardo cristiano contro l'avanzata turca, è durata circa ottant'anni: da cento - quanti erano inizialmente nel 1537, quando la roccaforte di Klis venne conquistata dai turchi - diventarono duemila alla fine della loro storia, conclusasi con la "guerra di Gradisca" o "guerra degli uscocchi" nel 1617. I cronisti pagati dai tre stati che si spartivano l'Adriatico li descrivono, a seconda delle necessità e degli obblighi verso i committenti, a volte come profughi spinti dall'avidità per il danaro e la vendetta, altre come combattenti per la giustizia e la libertà.

Kemal Orhan
La Casa Di Mio Padre
8vo; br., pp. 160, cm 14x21. (Raggi). Pubblicato nel 1949, "La casa di mio padre" è il primo romanzo di Orhan Kemal, un libro ricco di elementi autobiografici vivificati da una vocazione narrativa che trascolora in una luce di ottimismo gli elementi più tragici e duri dell'esistenza. Kemal ripercorre in prima persona l'infanzia e l'adolescenza di un "signor nessuno" che l'autore immagina di aver incontrato per caso in un caffè. Figlio di un funzionario statale politicamente impegnato, nel corso del romanzo il protagonista passa da un'infanzia relativamente agiata nella Turchia sconvolta dalle turbolenze politiche legate alla fine dell'Impero ottomano a un'adolescenza segnata dalla miseria più nera durante l'esilio della famiglia in Libano. Al centro della vicenda campeggia il conflitto del figlio con un padre dal carattere complesso, una figura tratteggiata dall'autore con l'abilità e l'estro di un pittore amante dei colori forti e del chiaroscuro. Nella girandola di situazioni difficili, tragiche e talvolta comiche in cui viene coinvolto suo malgrado, il giovane eroe non perde mai l'entusiasmo per la vita e la speranza in un futuro migliore, dimostrando sempre un profondo sentimento di solidarietà per gli altri uomini, indipendentemente dall'estrazione sociale o dalla cultura di appartenenza.

Seal Rebecca
Istanbul. Ricette dal cuore della Turchia
4to tela ed. pp. 256, ill. (Gli Illustrati). Camminando per le strade di Istanbul vedrete una città di splendide contraddizioni: usciti da un raffinato bar moderno, girerete l'angolo e vi ritroverete davanti a spiedini d'agnello arrostiti alla brace su un carretto, all'ombra di minareti altissimi. Questo posto affascinante, dove l'Oriente incontra l'Occidente e l'Europa confina con l'Asia, ha suggerito a Rebecca Seal e Steven Joyce l'idea di "Istanbul", un vero e proprio giro gastronomico della città. Dai semplici piatti di meze ai profumati stufati di ispirazione ottomana, questo libro è una fonte di ricette deliziose: provate le melanzane arrosto ripiene di agnello speziato, la croccante insalata di finocchi con chicchi di melagrana e il pollo alla griglia marinato al sommacco e lasciatevi trasportare nelle cucine di Istanbul.

Dadrian, Vahakn N.; Akçam, Taner
Judgment at Istanbul: The Armenian Genocide Trials
8vo, herdcover, 376pp. This book [by Vahakn Dadrian and Taner Akcam, one Armenian, one Turkish, both noted scholars of the Armenian Genocide] stands as a monument of original scholarship on the facts of the Genocide. The wealth of specific citations, the multiplicity of sources surveyed make this volume an invaluable and fundamental source for any future study. * The Armenian Mirror-Spectator Turkey s bid to join the European Union has lent new urgency to the issue of the Armenian Genocide as differing interpretations of the genocide are proving to be a major reason for the delay of the its accession. This book provides vital background information and is a prime source of legal evidence and authentic Turkish eyewitness testimony of the intent and the crime of genocide against the Armenians. After a long and painstaking effort, the authors, one an Armenian, the other a Turk, generally recognized as the foremost experts on the Armenian Genocide, have prepared a new, authoritative translation and detailed analysis of the Takvim-i Vekayi, the official Ottoman Government record of the Turkish Military Tribunals concerning the crimes committed against the Armenians during World War I. The authors have compiled the documentation of the trial proceedings for the first time in English and situated them within their historical and legal context. These documents show that Wartime Cabinet ministers, Young Turk party leaders, and a number of others inculpated in these crimes were court-martialed by the Turkish Military Tribunals in the years immediately following World War I. Most were found guilty and received sentences ranging from prison with hard labor to death. In remarkable contrast to Nuremberg, the Turkish Military Tribunals were conducted solely on the basis of existing Ottoman domestic penal codes. This substitution of a national for an international criminal court stands in history as a unique initiative of national self-condemnation. This compilation is significantly enhanced by an extensive analysis of the historical background, political nature and legal implications of the criminal prosecution of the twentieth century s first state-sponsored crime of genocide. Vahakn N. Dadrian was director of a large Genocide Study Project with sustained support by the National Science Foundation and the H. F. Guggenheim Foundation. The project s first major achievement was the publication of an extensive volume, The History of the Armenian Genocide: Ethnic Conflict from the Balkans to Anatolia to the Caucasus (Berghahn Books 1995), now in its 8th edition, which has been translated into Arabic, French, Greek, Italian, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. In 2005, he received four separate awards for his lifetime contribution to genocide studies. He taught at the State University of New York (SUNY) system (1970-1991) and has been Director of Genocide Research at the Zoryan Institute since 1999. Taner Akcam was born in the province of Ardahan in the northeast of Turkey. As the editor-in-of a political journal, he was arrested in 1976 and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. One year later, he escaped and fled to Germany as a political refugee. He is the first Turkish scholar to have drawn attention to the historicity of the Armenian Genocide and has been persecuted by the Turkish state for it. In April 2006, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts presented him with a distinguished award for his outstanding work in human rights and fighting genocide denial. Currently, he is Associate Professor of History and the Kaloosdian/Mugar Chair in Armenian Genocide Studies at the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Clark University

Men of Order: Authoritarian Modernization Under Atatürk and Reza Shah
8vo, br. ed. pp.296. The authors trace the emergence of Ataturk and Reza Shah through the constitutional revolutions in Iran and the Ottoman Empire, which led to the introduction of European social models, the establishment of dictatorship and of secularist reforms. This produced in both Turkey and Iran highly authoritarian, nationalist, and quasi-westernised states, where the personality cult of the leader defined the politics of each country

Madden Thomas F.
Istanbul: City of Majesty at the Crossroads of the World
8vo, 368pp. hardcover in dj, For more than two millennia Istanbul has stood at the crossroads of the world, perched at the very tip of Europe, gazing across the shores of Asia. The history of this city--known as Byzantium, then Constantinople, now Istanbul--is at once glorious, outsized, and astounding. Founded by the Greeks, its location blessed it as a center for trade but also made it a target of every empire in history, from Alexander the Great and his Macedonian Empire to the Romans and later the Ottomans. At its most spectacular Emperor Constantine I re-founded the city as New Rome, the capital of the eastern Roman empire. Around it all Constantine built new walls, truly impregnable, that preserved power, wealth, and withstood any aggressor--walls that still stand for tourists to visit. --From its ancient past to the present, we meet the city through its ordinary citizens--the Jews, Muslims, Italians, Greeks, and Russians who used the famous baths and walked the bazaars--and the rulers who built it up and then destroyed it, including Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the man who christened the city "Istanbul" in 1930

Marsili Carlo
La Turchia bussa alla porta. Viaggio nel paese sospeso tra Europa e Asia
8vo, br. ed. pp.292, Anche per via della lingua - sconosciuta a pressoché tutti gli italiani (non si dice alternativamente "parlo arabo?" o "parlo turco?") - la Turchia resta nel nostro immaginario collettivo un paese in gran parte sconosciuto, affidato a luoghi comuni fuorvianti. Chi meglio di Carlo Marsili, ambasciatore in Turchia dal 2004 al 2010, ha le carte in regola per farci scoprire questo paese e le sue contraddizioni? Dalle minoranze etniche alla condizione femminile; dalle contraddizioni dell'islamismo moderato alla questione armena; dalla stratificazione sociale alla classe politica e ai partiti; ai mezzi di comunicazione e alla lotta per la libertà di stampa, al ruolo dell'esercito e alla politica interna ed estera; sino ai capitoli finali, dedicati a come i turchi vedono gli europei, allo sviluppo economico, e alla presenza italiana: ricco di aneddoti ed episodi vissuti in prima persona, il libro dà finalmente un quadro realistico e privo di pregiudizi della Turchia d'oggi. E ci spiega anche perché un'Unione Europea senza la Turchia sarebbe inevitabilmente destinata a un ruolo di secondo rango rispetto non solo a Stati Uniti e Cina, ma anche a India, Brasile e altre potenze emergenti.

Braccini Tommaso
Prima di Dracula. Archeologia del vampiro
8vo, br.ed. pp.292. Mentre in Occidente fiorivano Umanesimo e Rinascimento, nei Balcani e nei territori dell'Impero bizantino ormai al tramonto si diffondeva il timore dei morti che uscivano dai sepolcri per perseguitare i viventi; più tardi, nel momento in cui a Versailles si celebravano i fasti del Re Sole, i suoi inviati in Grecia riferivano di roghi accesi nelle isole dell'Egeo per sbarazzarsi di cadaveri che gettavano nel terrore interi villaggi. Il libro, che poggia su una ricca base documentaria, illustra lo sviluppo delle credenze vampiriche nel medioevo bizantino e slavo ricercandone i primordi nell'antichità e seguendone le tracce, che intersecano quelle dell'eresia e della storia della Chiesa, fino all'epoca moderna. L'analisi di queste voci antiche permette così di comporre una avvincente "archeologia del vampiro".

Sonmez Burhan
Istanbul Istanbul
8vo, softcovr 252pp. 'A wrenching love poem to Istanbul told between torture sessions by four prisoners in their cell beneath the city. An ode to pain in which Dostoevsky meets The Decameron.' --John Ralston Saul, author of On Equilibrium and former president, PEN International 'Ten days, ten stories and ten chapters, like Boccaccio's The Decameron. Classical in structure and profoundly moving, this novel will, I predict, itself become a classic.' --Rosie Goldsmith, European Literature Network.

He worked as a lawyer in Istanbul, and was a founder of the social-activist cultural organisation TAKSAV (Foundation for Social Research, Culture and Art).

Eskenazi Victor
Beyond Constantinople: The Memoirs of an Ottoman Jew
8vo, hardcover, 208 pages, 20 bw photos. "Constantinople in those days represented the bridge between East and West. The navel of the earth. A wondrous and fascinating place to live." Victor Eskenazi, a Sephardic Jew from Constantinople, represented an ethnic and religious minority that thrived in the Ottoman Empire. The beginning of the twentieth century was a critical period in Ottoman history, which saw the end of the Empire, defeat in World War I but also a colourful influx of victorious allied armies and White Russians fleeing the Revolution, contributing to the already cosmopolitan nature of the city. Eskenazi breathed the complex air of this budding new Turkey, with its ideals, contradictions and hopes. His extraordinary memoir which begins in Constantinople and travels across Europe during and after World War II tells the remarkable story of a family, poignantly capturing a moment in time which now exists only in memory.".

Doughty Charles M. Intr. T. E. Lawrence
Arabia Deserta
8vo, br, ed. . Nel 1876 un giovane medico e poeta inglese innamorato dei popoli e della cultura del Medio Oriente decide di visitare un sito archeologico nascosto nel cuore dell'Arabia. Per raggiungerlo, non esita a travestirsi da pellegrino e a unirsi alla grande carovana di devoti che da Damasco si reca alle città sante dell'Islam. Comincia così l'odissea nel deserto di Charles M. Doughty, turista clandestino che nessuna autorità può proteggere nella sua esplorazione di un mondo arcaico, violento e misterioso, in cui le regole di comportamento a lui note non valgono nulla. Mille incontri indimenticabili si svolgono negli scenari magici e solenni delle immense distese di sabbia, tra la fatica delle lunghe cavalcate a dorso di cammello, le soste in villaggi e accampamenti che sembrano usciti da un lontano passato, la fame e la sete, i tradimenti e gli agguati delle guide cui l'ignaro viaggiatore si affida, e i momenti di comunione con gli eroici abitanti del deserto, uomini e donne osservati da Doughty con l'appassionata attenzione dello straniero che, per sopravvivere, ha bisogno di distinguere a colpo sicuro gli amici dai nemici. Da autentico esploratore, l'autore di questo classico della letteratura di viaggio riesce a scoprire l'anima del deserto, e a rivelarcela in un resoconto che si legge come un grande romanzo d'avventura.

Norwich John Julius
Four Princes: Henry VIII, Francis I, Charles V, Suleiman the Magnificent and the Obsessions That Forged Modern Europe
Hardcover in dj 8vo, t Edition. Four Princes: Henry VIII, Francis I, Charles V, Suleiman the Magnificent and the Obsessions that Forged Modern Europe 'Never before had the world seen four such giants co-existing. Sometimes friends, more often enemies, always rivals, these four men together held Europe in the hollow of their hands.' Four great princes - Henry VIII of England, Francis I of France, Charles V of Spain and Suleiman the Magnificent - were born within a single decade. Each looms large in his country's history and, in this book, John Julius Norwich broadens the scope and shows how, against the rich background of the Renaissance and destruction of the Reformation, their wary obsession with one another laid the foundations for modern Europe. Individually, each man could hardly have been more different - from the scandals of Henry's six wives to Charles's monasticism - but, together, they dominated the world stage.

Shafak Elif
The Architect's Apprentice
br. ed. 446pp. Sixteenth century Istanbul: a stowaway arrives in the city bearing an extraordinary gift for the Sultan. The boy is utterly alone in a foreign land, with no worldly possessions to his name except Chota, a rare white elephant destined for the palace menagerie. So begins an epic adventure that will see young Jahan rise from lowly origins to the highest ranks of the Sultan's court. Along the way he will meet deceitful courtiers and false friends, gypsies, animal tamers, and the beautiful, mischievous Princess Mihrimah. He will journey on Chota's back to the furthest corners of the Sultan's kingdom and back again. And one day he will catch the eye of the royal architect, Sinan, a chance encounter destined to change Jahan's fortunes forever. Filled with all the colour of the Ottoman Empire, when Istanbul was the teeming centre of civilisation, The Architect's Apprentice is a magical, sweeping tale of one boy and his elephant caught up in a world of wonder and danger.'A gorgeous picture of a city teeming with secrets, intrigue and romance' The Times. 'Shafak's most ambitious novel yet her best - generous and imaginative' Independent

Sola Emilio, Peña, Emilio José F. de la
Cervantes y la Berbería : (Cervantes, mundo turco-berberisco y servicios secretos en la época de Felipe II)
8vo, br. ed. pp.291. Entre 1575 y 1580 Miguel de Cervantes permaneció como prisionero en la ciudad de Argel: cinco años -entre los 28 y los 33 de su vida- que marcaron hondamente su trayectoria vital y su obra literaria. La ciudad era un verdadero mito en su época, la república corsaria o 'república popular' que dijera Salvago a principios del siglo XVII, en donde un hombre podía pasar de pobre esclavo a gobernar un navío como arraez corsario o gobernar un territorio. Era la biografía ejemplar de los hermanos Barbarroja, Aruch y Jeredín, que medio siglo largo antes de que Cervantes estuviera allí habían creado casi de la nada aquel nuevo régimen político, avanzadilla occidental del los Otomanos en su enfrentamiento con los Habsurgos. Era la gran frontera mediterránea, generadora de peculiares hombres, como el corsario Dragut, Alí Bajá o Hasán el Veneciano. Sólo la mano maestra de Cervantes es capaz de guiar al historiador por aquel mundo, exótico y cercano al mismo tiempo, actualísimo, salvando los escollos de la 'leyenda negra' que los medios oficiales cristianos tejieron sobre la Berbería.

Cervantes libertario: Cervantes antisistema, o Por qué los anarquistas aman a Cervantes
8vo, br. ed. pp.196. Alcanzar libertad en esta vida es un verso de Cervantes que encierra en sí mismo todo un programa de vida y acción para una persona de su tiempo y de todos los tiempos. Porque la riqueza cervantina está precisamente en ese descubrimiento que cada generación hace de él amedida que evolucionan nuevas sensibilidades, más allá de la mera erudición crítica de los cervantistas, siempre desbordada por ellas. Cuatro días antes de morirse, Cervantes mismo lo dice: no son los tiempos unos , y que vendrá un tiempo en el que la gente, anudando los rotos hilos sueltos de sus historias, verá lo que quiso decir y, más aún, lo que convenía decir. Este libro de Emilio Sola historiador con trabajos fundamentales sobre asuntos fronterizos y de información en la época de Cervantes, tanto en el Mediterráneo como en Extremo Oriente es una invitación precisamente a esa interpretación más libre de las obras de Cervantes, a una lectura libertaria o liberadora que en su tiempo histórico no son los tiempos unos era inviable. Para horror del sistema, de los casticistas, de los bienpensantes y políticamente correctos, sobrevuela la sospecha de un Cervantes antisistema, imposible cortesano, zahiriente del cambio injusto y trato con maraña (la corrupción económica más elemental), un Cervantes aconfesional y hasta feminista del que no se habla en la pompa de los centenarios, y cuyomensaje principal se esforzó en construir a lo largo de su vida de manera consciente. Por ello, Cervantes, el libertario cuerdo o lúcido, tiene que inventarse a don Quijote, el libertario loco, para poder decir lo que quería decir, pura búsqueda de libertad de expresión para alcanzar libertad en esta vida . Lecturas de Cervantes innumerables y siempre nuevas, renovables incluso a medida que cambien los tiempos, fundamentales para entender por ejemplo a Cervantes cuando dice que no vale para cortesano porque no sabe lisonjear, y cuyas quejas sobre la justicia son radicales, sin fisura, claramente antisistémicas, tal cual aparece en el discurso primero de la Edad de Oro, por boca de Quijote; o el Cervantes que en un análisis maestro de la modernidad que se avecinaba, compara la empresa económica moderna con la galeota corsaria, y lamenta que el nuevo dios de los nuevos tiempos sea el interese , el dinero, de manera que el cambio injusto y trato con maraña sea la nueva ley de esos nuevos tiempos bárbaros; o el Cervantes feminista que en una sociedad patriarcal y macha hace decir a Marcela que ella nació libre y que pasa de que su enamorado no correspondido, Crisóstomo, se haya suicidado, porque era un acosador; o el Cervantes que, en una sociedad confesional fundamentalista como era la monarquía católica, hace despedirse a un moro y a un cristiano en una pieza teatral así: Tu Cristo vaya contigo , dice el moro Ali; Tu Mahoma, Ali, te guarde , dice el cristiano; formulación sin parangón en la literatura europea de entonces y casi de hoy, tal como van las cosas. Ese es el Cervantes que no parece que las élites culturales y los especialistas tengan ningún interés en glosar para que todos lo entiendan. El que no puede digerir una sociedad formal que en el fondo no entra de lleno en él porque, como en vida le sucedió, lo desprecia y oculta, lo difumina o ningunea, y sólo es capaz de reírle gracias al loco que dice tonterías, y que inventó por pura necesidad de libertad de expresión, en un artilugio literario que crea la novela moderna. Ese es, sin duda, el Cervantes personaje histórico que encandila a los anarquistas, a los libertarios, y por ello son radicalmente cervantistas, más que quijotistas, pues enamorados del Quijote, focalizan su interés en ese hombre que está detrás de la obra literaria misma, que le da vida, que la hace posible. Ese Don Quijote de Alcalá de Henares, como sintetiza, puro emblema, José María Pujol, en el título de un libro que publicó en 1947 y que firma sencillamente PUYOL; un exiliado libertario que llegó a Argelia en el barco. en espanol.

Scott Alev
Turkish Awakening: Behind the Scenes of Modern Turkey. New and Updated edition
br. ed. When Alev Scott moved to Istanbul to explore her family's heritage, she didn't know what to expect from this colorful nation at the edge of the Middle East. By travelling around the country and talking to everyone from art dealers to camel breeders, Alex began to piece together a picture of modern Turkey. Moving from booming Istanbul to the historically diverse villages of the south-east, and caught up in the protests of 2013, Alev saw from the inside how constantly surprising this remarkable country can be. Turkish Awakening is essential reading for anyone travelling to, or simply interested in, this rapidly-evolving nation. This updated paperback edition includes an additional chapter on the aftermath of the 2013 Gezi Park protests. About the Author: Alev Scott was born in London in 1987 to a Turkish mother and a British father, and educated at North London Collegiate School and New College, Oxford, where she studied Classics. After graduating in 2009, she worked in London as an assistant director in theatre and opera before moving to Istanbul in January 2011, where she now works as a freelance journalist for the British press.
