Roxolana. The Magnificent Century of Sultan Suleiman

Roxolana. The Magnificent Century of Sultan Suleiman

Before you is the most complete version of the novel that served as the basis for the legendary series "The Magnificent Century." The story of how an ordinary Slavic girl Roxolana captured the heart of Sultan Suleiman continues to stir... the hearts of people to this day. A slave from the slave market in Istanbul managed to charm and win the love of the powerful ruler of the Ottoman Empire. Roxolana was accused of witchcraft, treachery, and cunning, but a loving heart cannot hear malicious slanders. Suleiman made Roxolana his official wife, the great Hurrem, and this wise woman managed to turn her beloved into a truly legendary sultan, whose years of reign were rightly called the "Magnificent Century" of the Ottoman Empire. Such love happens once in a century, but the memory of it forever remains in the hearts of people.
