We present the famous novel by Pavlo Zahrebelny about the Slavic girl Roxolana, who entered history under the name Khurram. The book tells the amazing fate of a girl who was captured and sold into slavery at the Istanbul market. Possessing a brilliant mind, extraordinary strength of will, and an attractive appearance, she rose from an powerless slave girl to become the wife of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent (the Conqueror)—the most powerful sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Having mastered the peaks of Eastern and European culture, this celebrated woman played a significant role in the political life of the 16th century.
Sultan Suleiman called his beloved Khurram and composed beautiful poems in her honor. Their love became the foundation of the popular TV series “The Magnificent Century,” whose millions of viewers became fans across the world.
