Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A sprawling novel of court intrigue and a personal exploration of emigration and loss. It's 1481, and as seen from the centers of power in Rome and Venice, the cultures of Europe are under threat from the expansion of the Ottoman Empire. When the exalted Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror dies his eldest son, Bayezid, takes the throne. However, discontented factions within the Ottoman army urge Mehmed's second son, Cem, a well-educated and experienced warrior, to oppose his brother's ascension, setting off a ruthless power struggle and forcing Cem into long years of exile, a pawn for European powers that are struggling to maintain the order they have imposed on the continent over the course of centuries. The Case of Cemmaintains lasting resonance for being a personal exploration of emigration and loss as told through the historical era during which the politics of the East and West were sketched out with utter clarity. These early lines of demarcation, as voiced through Christian and Muslim emissaries, power hungry rulers, unflinching warriors, and poets, have indelibly influenced the word as we know it today.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. One of the foremost works of Bulgarian literature of the past century, Ivailo Petrov's Wolf Hunt paints an intimate and multi-vocal portrait of collectivized village life under Soviet rule.Published in 1986, three years before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Wolf Hunt was the first novel to portray the human cost of Communist policies on Bulgarian villagers, forced by the government to abandon their land and traditional way of life.

The ensuing story takes the reader on a voyage of shifting perspectives that places the calamitous history of twentieth-century Bulgaria into a human context of helplessness and desperation. Originally published in 1986, this novel by one of Bulgaria's most popular novelists centres on an ill-fated winter hunting expedition Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
