Description
A debut historical novel set in the times of the Ottoman Empire, The Merchant Jasim travels from Alexandria to Istanbul, between Smyrna and Tabriz, from oriental bazaars to an Orthodox monastery, loves, fights, loses, ages. And he is constantly searching. He is looking for his wife and son, whom he lost during a political coup. At the same time, he is also searching for his faith, seeking the peace of heart that his involuntarily adventurous life does not allow him to find. Debut author Daniel Klabal has shaped the quest for one's own place in the world into an expansive historical novel from the Middle East set during the seventeenth century, a period of the rise of the Ottoman Empire, a time of travelers and adventurers, a time when faith was more a matter of the sword than humility. And yet — the calm narrator Klabal, along with his heroes, is heading more towards a reconciliatory prayer than a warrior's roar.
