<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>'The Thracian Sun' is the first book in the six part series</p><p>titled 'The Ottomans'. Orhan I, one of the founders of the</p><p>Ottoman State, appoints Suleiman Pasha as the army</p><p>general during his reign. The prince came to be called</p><p>the Thracian Sun due to his victorious conquests at a</p><p>young age and enabling passage into Thracian lands. In</p><p>the meanwhile, the fight between and for the Byzantine</p><p>throne had weakened the state. Constantinople realized</p><p>the magnitude of the approaching danger and attempted</p><p>to quash its internal struggles in preparation for attack.</p><p>However, as it was surrounded and had no room to</p><p>maneuver, it found itself in dire straits. Suleiman</p><p>Pasha, who left no Byzantine castle unconquered in</p><p>Rumelia, died in an unfortunate hunting accident and</p><p>his brother Murad I ascended to the throne. All the</p><p>historical characters in this novel are represented in</p><p>their individual worlds through Murat Tuncel's words.</p><p>He tells the story of the passage of the last great empire</p><p>from Anatolia to Thrace and the Balkans. Through his</p><p>masterly use of epic language, Tuncel sometimes gives</p><p>voice to a mountain, sometimes to the sun, the clouds</p><p>and also to the fears and hopes of those both inside and</p><p>outside a beleaguered castle.</p><p>"Upon receiving the news, the feeling that his mansion</p><p>had crumbled on top of him overcame Orhan I as he</p><p>gasped for breath. He struggled out to the gardens as he</p><p>realized that his body couldn't bear the pain he felt</p><p>between the four walls of his room. Once outside he let</p><p>out such a yell that even Mount Olympus, leaning her</p><p>shadow over Bursa, would take two steps back in fear at</p><p>the extent of this pain. As soon as she overcame her fear</p><p>and saw that this painful scream was none other than</p><p>the outcry of a helpless father she approached warily to</p><p>console him with her shadow."</p><p><br></p>
