This book is the famous historical novel by Pavlo Zagrebelny about the Slavic girl Roxolana, who entered history under the name Khurrem. The book tells the astonishing fate of a girl who was taken captive and sold into slavery at the Istanbul market. With her brilliant mind, extraordinary willpower, and attractive appearance, she rose from a powerless slave to become the wife of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent (the Conqueror)—the most powerful sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Mastering the peaks of Eastern and European culture, this renowned woman played a significant role in the political life of the sixteenth century.
Sultan Suleiman called his beloved Khurrem and dedicated beautiful poems to her. Their love became the foundation of the popular TV series “Magnificent Century,” which has been watched by millions of viewers around the world.
