"In a world of rising tensions between Russia and the United States, the Middle East and Europe, Sunnis and Shiites, Islamism and liberalism, Turkey is at the epicentre. And at the heart of Turkey is its right-wing populist president, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an. Since 2002, Erdo?an has consolidated his hold on domestic politics while using military and diplomatic means to solidify Turkey as a regional power. His crackdown has been brutal and consistent - scores of journalists arrested, academics officially banned from leaving the country, university deans fired and many of the highest-ranking military officers arrested. In some senses, the nefarious and failed 2016 coup has given Erdo?an the licence to make good on his repeated promise to bring order and stability under a 'strongman'. Here, leading Turkish expert Soner Cagaptay will look at Erdo?an's roots in Turkish history, what he believes in and how he has cemented his rule, as well as what this means for the world. The book will also unpick the 'threats' Erdogan has worked to combat - from the liberal Turks to the Gulen movement, from coup plotters to Kurdish nationalists - all of which have culminated in the crisis of modern Turkey."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

The legendary vampire Dracula , created by author Bram Stoker in his 1897 novel of the same name is named after a real person Vlad Tepes of Wallachia of the 15th century, the pitiless sovereign who entwined hundred thou- sand Ottoman civilians on the crucifix to impede Islam from spreading in Europe. He, in course of time and history, be- came the bloodthirsty vampire of the myths and folklores. He emerged to me as a misread champion of the yesteryear, the comrade of the Cross who later became the anomalous villain, the worst foe of the Cross and the monster greedy of blood, the one who can be killed by the crucifix itself. In this book, the writer portrays a 'Christian Dracula' who writes to his Muslim brother Radu on his conversion. The motion picture Saint Dracula is based on this original text.

The World of Odysseus is a concise and penetrating account of the society that gave birth to the Iliad and the Odyssey--a book that provides a vivid picture of the Greek Dark Ages, its men and women, works and days, morals and values. Long celebrated as a pathbreaking achievement in the social history of the ancient world, M.I. Finley's brilliant study remains, as classicist Bernard Knox notes in his introduction to this new edition, "as indispensable to the professional as it is accessible to the general reader"--a fundamental companion for students of Homer and Homeric Greece.
