Jacket structural despite wear, Illustrations on cover still bright. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet against the opulent and treacherous backdrop of the sixteenth-century Ottoman Empire, this sweeping historical novel chronicles the journey of a young European man who, captured and brought to Constantinople, rises through the ranks of the sultan's court by renouncing his former life and embracing a new identity. Mika Waltari, celebrated for his masterful command of historical fiction, constructs a richly atmospheric world of palace intrigue, religious conflict, and shifting loyalties, drawing readers into a civilization at the height of its power and complexity. The narrative unfolds with the same immersive, suspenseful momentum that defined Waltari's landmark work The Egyptian, blending meticulous historical detail with deeply human drama. At its core, the story presents a profound meditation on identity, faith, and survival — asking what a man must sacrifice of himself in order to endure in a world that demands absolute transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792196251867,"sku":"2026200004640-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8270cc9c-b13f-4fac-bec2-dd487a2cc38d.png?v=1779273266","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200004640-secondhand-the-sultans-renegade","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
