Excerpt from Zohrab, Vol. 2 of 3: The Hostage Approaching the person on the present occasion, he soon discovered that all was not right. Sadek was standing thoughtfully loung ing in the ante-room, with one hand stuck in his girdle and one foot against the wall. Hashim's vivacity had forsaken him; and the chief physician, the Hakim Bashi, was about taking his departure, with his eyebrows running under his cap, with an air of apprehension that might have suited some wretch on the verge of life and death.

Zohrab, the Hostage, Vol. 1 of 3 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Zohrab, the Hostage, Vol. 1 of 3 In this book, I confess that the quantum of history is very small indeed in propor tion to the fiction. It may be compared to the small canal by means of which, in the East, water is made to meander through a cultivated field, fertilizing the tract through which it passes, but without Which it would be barren and without value.

The End of the Ottomans


Book Description

In the early part of the twentieth century, as Europe began its descent into the First World War, the Ottoman world – once the largest Empire in the Middle East – began to experience a revolution which would culminate in the new, secular Turkish state. Alongside this, in 1915, as part of an increasing nationalism, it enacted a genocide against its Armenian citizens. In this new study, Hans-Lukas Kieser marshals a dazzling array of scholars to re-evaluate the approach and legacy of the Young Turks – whose eradication of the Armenians from Asia Minor would have far-reaching consequences. Kieser argues that genocide led to today's crisis-ridden Middle East and set in place a rigid state system whose effects are still felt in Turkey today.Featuring new and groundbreaking work on the role of bureaucracy, the actors outside of Istanbul and re-centreing Armenian agency in the genocide, The End of the Ottomans is a vital new study of the Ottoman world, the Armenian Genocide and of the Middle East.

The Armenians in Modern Turkey


Book Description

After the Armenian genocide of 1915, in which over a million Armenians died, thousands of Armenians lived and worked in the Turkish state alongside those who had persecuted their communities. Living in the context of pervasive denial, how did Armenians remaining in Turkey record their own history? Here, Talin Suciyan explores the life experienced by these Armenian communities as Turkey's modernisation project of the twentieth century gathered pace. Suciyan achieves this through analysis of remarkable new primary material: Turkish state archives, minutes of the Armenian National Assembly, a kaleidoscopic series of personal diaries, memoirs and oral histories, various Armenian periodicals such as newspapers, yearbooks and magazines, as well as statutes and laws which led to the continuing persecution of Armenians. The first history of its kind, The Armenians in Modern Turkey is a fresh contribution to the history of modern Turkey and the Armenian experience there.
