[Raphaela Lewis] sketches the history of the Ottoman dynasty and shows how it fell heir to the Eastern Roman Empire and made its capital in the city of Constantine the Great, renamed Istanbul. She then describes the administrative structure of the Empire, with its extraordinary system of recruitment whereby membership of the civil and military establishment was in principle confined to the Sultan's Christian-born slaves. The dominant faith of the Empire was Islam, and there is a full account of its duties and practices, which moulded the life of the Turk...The author also takes us inside the great imperial mosques, the thronged and colourful bazaars, schoolrooms, palaces and private houses and takes us down fascinating byways, showing how the Sultan's cannon were cast, how children prayed for rain, how the people passed the nights of Ramadan, and how important a social occasion for women were the weekly visits to the hammam, the public baths...Lewis has not neglected life in Anatolia and the non-Turkish provinces, and she has also provided a glossary of Turkish terms used in the book. -- Dust jacket.

This book provides a general overview of the daily life in a vast empire which contained numerous ethnic, linguistic, and religious communities. The Ottoman Empire was an Islamic imperial monarchy that existed for over 600 years. At the height of its power in the 16th and 17th centuries, it encompassed three continents and served as the core of global interactions between the east and the west. And while the Empire was defeated after World War I and dissolved in 1920, the far-reaching effects and influences of the Ottoman Empire are still clearly visible in today's world cultures. Daily Life in the Ottoman Empire allows readers to gain critical insight into the pluralistic social and cultural history of an empire that ruled a vast region extending from Budapest in Hungary to Mecca in Arabia. Each chapter presents an in-depth analysis of a particular aspect of daily life in the Ottoman Empire.

The cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire has traditionally been presented to us through its monuments and high arts. Our understanding of its culture has thus come from a world created by and for sultans, viziers and the elite of the Empire. But what of the world of the craftsmen and tradesmen who produced the monuments and artefacts? Or the townspeople who prayed in the mosques, drank water from the sebils or passed by the mausolea in the ordinary course of their lives? How did they live and die? To date no book has adequately explored the day-to-day life of the common people during the centuries of Ottoman rule. In this new edition Faroqhi explores the urban world of the Ottoman lands from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century, describing the social significance of the popular arts and crafts of the period and examining the interaction among the diverse populations and classes of the Empire.

Living in the Ottoman Realm brings the Ottoman Empire to life in all of its ethnic, religious, linguistic, and geographic diversity. The contributors explore the development and transformation of identity over the long span of the empire's existence. They offer engaging accounts of individuals, groups, and communities by drawing on a rich array of primary sources, some available in English translation for the first time. These materials are examined with new methodological approaches to gain a deeper understanding of what it meant to be Ottoman. Designed for use as a course text, each chapter includes study questions and suggestions for further reading.
