À propos de cet audio

By understanding the dramatic story of the Ottoman Empire - from its early years as a collection of raiders and conquerors to its undeniable power in the 15th and 16th centuries to its catastrophic collapse in the wreckage of the First World War - one can better grasp the current complexities of the Middle East.

Over the course of these 36 enlightening lectures, investigate over 600 years of history that covers the nature of Ottoman identity, the achievements of the Sultan's court, and stories of confrontation and cooperation with the West.

Befitting a story of such epic scope and grandeur, every lecture is a treasure trove of historical insights into the people, events, themes, and locales responsible for shaping the story of this often-overlooked empire. You'll cover everything from Rumi, the whirling dervishes, and the importance of the sultan's grand viziers to the wars of Sultan Suleiman I, the shadowy politics of the Committee of Union and Progress, and the birth of the Turkish Republic under Kemal Atatürk.

Welcome to a fascinating story of the triumph and tragedy, war and peace, intellectual progress and civil insurrection of a great empire that, for all its glory and grandeur, has left an important legacy that will shape the future of the Balkan nation-states, the Turkish Republic, and the Arab world - and those of us in the West as well.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

As a Westerner I am trying to get a greater understanding of Islam history and culture. I knew very little about the Ottoman Empire. I learned a lot about the Empire and Islam but as a 'bonus' I also learned a lot about the Balkins, Austria- Hungarian Empire, Egypt , Greece, Armenia,Iran, Greek Orthodox Church, Russia, and modern day Turkey.

A Fair History of the 500 year Ottoman Empire

Really amazing story of a historical period with lots of lasting consequences to date. Kenneth Harl's mastery of the concepts, even those deep within the Islamic and Turkish traditions is really superb. And his narration brings everything to life as if you are watching a great series. I really enjoyed this and I'm kind of sad it's finished!

Terrific!

Professor Harl is a knowledgeable individual with unique insight, but his over-use of 'umm' and 'uh' was a little distracting. Overall an excellent and engaging series, I would recommend.

Excellent series, good speaker

Overall excellent, but there are 2 issues that keep it from that mark.
1. The narrator does not pronounce a lot of things like everyone else. For example: Allies (Britain and France were allies in WWII) he pronounces (a lies) with emphasis on lies and it changes. Many more examples.
2. He’s a bit of an Ottoman fanboy and I see a strong ‘pro Ottoman’ bias. Slavery was a huge part of the Ottoman Empire for centuries. The Ottomans compete to be the number 1 slave nation in history. Families were broken with no consideration, forced contribution of children to the Janissary Corp. Never to be seen again by the family.
He treats the Millets like it was done as a favour for the ethnic religious groups when it was simply the most efficient way to get result from non-Muslim populations. That being said it’s still very good and worth listening too.

Good overview of the Ottoman Empire but somewhat biased

Holy smokes! This is the second time I’ve listen to one of Dr Harl’s courses and, while what he says is interesting, the way he says it is quite off-putting. His pronunciation—regional preferences, I guess—is distracting; his grammar is questionable; and he “hums” and “uhs” at record levels. It’s really too bad. I love the material but it really is a challenge to get through the narration. I will persevere, but if this kind of thing bothers you, be warned.

Great material but terrible speaker.

The book is so rushed it sounds like he is in a race. The book will at times cover 200 years of history in 10 minutes. content is great, just wish it was more indepth

why in such a rush

I’ve gone through several of his courses on Audible.

A good listen 👍

This is a fascinating and thorough overview of the Ottoman Empire. If you are interested in the history of the region and how hit has shaped the current state, this is highly recommended.
