Brothers bound by blood but fated to be enemies. Can their Empire survive or will it crumble into myth? Istanbul, 1903. Since his younger brother usurped the Imperial throne, Sultan Murad V has been imprisoned with his family for nearly thirty years. The new century heralds immense change. Anarchy and revolution threaten the established order. Powerful enemies plot the fall of the once mighty Ottoman Empire. Only death will bring freedom to the enlightened former sultan. But the waters of the Bosphorus run deep: assassins lurk in shadows, intrigue abounds, and scandal in the family threatens to bring destruction of all that he holds dear… For over six hundred years the history of the Turks and their vast and powerful Empire has been inextricably linked to the Ottoman dynasty. Can this extraordinary family, and the Empire they built, survive into the new century? Set against the magnificent backdrop of Imperial Istanbul, The Gilded Cage on the Bosphorus is a spellbinding tale of love, duty and sacrifice. Evocative and utterly beguiling, The Gilded Cage on the Bosphorus is perfect for fans of Colin Falconer, Kate Morton and Philippa Gregory. "A richly woven carpet of a book." Historical Novel Society "With intelligence and sensitivity, Ayşe recreates the dramatic story of our family." Kenize Mourad, author of the international best-seller Regards from the Dead Princess

Excerpt from book: Policy of Paul I. Treaty of Campo- Formio, 1797. Treaty of CoriStanti- uople, 179. CHAPTER II. FROM THE TREATY OF CONSTANTINOPLE, 1798, TO THE TREATY OF BUCHAREST, 1812. Catherine's successor, Paul I., found the Russian armies disorganised, the population impoverished, and the national finance in difficulties. He was, therefore, in favour of peace, and of advancing the Turkish policy by means of diplomacy. The encouragement given by the French Directory to the Poles, and the activities of Bonaparte forced the Tsar to abandon his pacific attitude. The Treaty of Campo-Formio (October, 1797) gave to the French the Ionian Islands; this cession, followed by the conquest of Malta and the Egyptian expedition, made France a menace to Russia who reserved to herself alone the right to interfere in the East. When, there- fore, the Sultan appealed to Paul for assistance, iF'w'8 readily given. A fleet under Admiral Ouchakoff set sail for Constantinople, and, with the authorisation of the Porte, entered the Bosphorus (September 5, 1798). A Russo - Turkish convention was quickly drawn up (October), which was converted into the definitive Treaty of Constantinople (December 23, 1798)(). A few days later (January 5, 1799) England became a party to the treaty. This alliance between Russia and Turkey was to remain in force for eight years; each undertook to protect the possessions of the other; Russia was'to furnish to the Porte a squadron of twelve vessels of the () Noradounghian, vol. ii. pp. 24?31; Martens, Recueil (1st ed.), vol. vii. p. 314. line, and if necessary an army of seventy-five to eighty thousand men, and Turkey was to provide for the maintenance of the whole.

Excerpt from Straits of the Dardanelles, and the Bosphorus: The Right of Way Under International Law Nor does there seem to be much that is objection able in this arrangement, which has merely for its motive the restoration of the commercial relations which previously existed between the subjects of the Czar and of the Sultan; but the effect of all the stipulations of that treaty combined would be serious in the extreme, as it would make of the Black Sea a Russian lake, actually making it sub jcet to the rule of one despotic will, instead of placing it under the protection of a just and equal law. The Preliminary Treaty, however, is fortunately as yet wholly without juridical sanction, for although the war put an end to treaties as between the two belligerents themselves, yet, inasmuch as these belli gerents had some years ago entered into treaty engagements with other Powers, no new stipulations contravening those previous engagements can be valid until ratified by all the signatory Powers. It is obvious that Russia cannot plead special immunity from the observance of treaties, and, whilst herself flagrantly violating them, hold England bound toobserve every clause to the letter. Nevertheless this very Power, after menacing Constantinople with the presence of its armies, and thereby forcing the Government of this country to despatch the fleet into the Sea of Marmora, now ventures to com plain of that act as a contravention of the Treaties of 1856 and 1871, because, forsooth, it lacks the formality of a firman from the Sultan, although it is difficult to conceive how the Sultan could now be regarded as a sufficiently free agent to either give or to withhold his consent. In fact, in dealing with a State or person in such a condition of duresse as to amount to positive disability, consent to further the performance of all just and necessary acts, must be assumed, and therefore need not be required, and by the same deduction the English Government would be equally justified in ordering the fleet through the Bosphorus into the Black Sea.

Although the city as a central entity did not simply disappear with the Fall of the Roman Empire, the development of urban space at least since the twelfth century played a major role in the history of medieval and early modern mentality within a social-economic and religious framework. Whereas some poets projected urban space as a new utopia, others simply reflected the new significance of the urban environment as a stage where their characters operate very successfully. As today, the premodern city was the locus where different social groups and classes got together, sometimes peacefully, sometimes in hostile terms. The historical development of the relationship between Christians and Jews, for instance, was deeply determined by the living conditions within a city. By the late Middle Ages, nobility and bourgeoisie began to intermingle within the urban space, which set the stage for dramatic and far-reaching changes in the social and economic make-up of society. Legal-historical aspects also find as much consideration as practical questions concerning water supply and sewer systems. Moreover, the early modern city within the Ottoman and Middle Eastern world likewise finds consideration. Finally, as some contributors observe, the urban space provided considerable opportunities for women to carve out a niche for themselves in economic terms.

The traveller gets exactly what he needs, and in a handy format. THE TIMES The author seems to have covered every road in the country, and has something of interest to say about virtually every site. COUNTRY LIFE Istanbul is the only city in the world that stands astride two continents, spreading across from Europe into Asia at the southern end of the Bosphorus, the incomparably beautiful strait linking the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara in northwestern Turkey. This Companion Guide to Istanbul goes as far as the region around Marmara from the Bosphorus to the Dardanelles, which flows into the Aegean past the historic ruins of Troy on its Asian shore.Revised and updated for this new edition, the book is a guide to the Byzantine and Ottoman monuments and to the many other places of great historic interest around the Marmara, including Edirne, Bursa and Iznik, ancient Nicaea, as well as the renowned archaeological site of Homeric Troy. It is also an introduction to Turkey itself and to its people and their way of life, which they are more than willing to share with the traveller who takes the time to become acquainted with them. JOHN FREELY has lived and worked on America's east coast, in Britain, and around the Mediterranean, but is long-time Professor of Physics at the University of the Bosphorus, Istanbul, and has been resident for many years in Turkey. His understanding of the land and its people has made him a respected interpreter of Turkey ancient and modern.
