More about the book
Set in 1838 Venice, the story unfolds as Saddo Drisdi, the last Turk in the city, enchants seven Austrian-fleeing children with captivating tales from a rich historical tapestry. He recounts stories of princesses, corsairs, and epic battles, blending myth with history to illuminate the once-glorious relationship between Venice and the Ottoman Empire. As he narrates these legends within the decaying Fondaco dei Turchi, the narrative reflects on the fading splendor of the Serenissima, offering a scholarly yet alluring glimpse into a lost Venice.
