Reseña del editor:

It is 1899 and the last great Islamic empire is in serious trouble. This story of masters and servants, school-teachers and painters, is marked by jealousies, vendettas and, with the decay of the Ottoman Empire, a new generation which is deeply hostile to the half-truths of the golden days.
