Description
The novel “Janissaries” tells of the complex and tragic confrontation between the West and the East after the fall of Byzantium.
Oh, how long they were considered an elite—those who were mostly born into Christian families, raised as the fiercest defenders of the Prophet’s teachings, those who struck fear into the enemies of the Great Ottoman Empire. But times move on, and the “elite” grows fat on commerce and families. And dragging cauldrons no longer means the Sultan doesn’t want to wage war—it means he won’t submit to discipline imposed by the Sultan’s ideas and Christian instructors. The clock shows the eighteenth century, and the “elite” of the Turkish army still lives in the past.
