About
This is a tale of East and West, of Christianity and Islam and the age-old struggle between them. By focusing on the larger-than-life personalities of two Balkan men who were taken from their Serbian homeland and introduced into the Turkish Sultan's private guard, the author provides us with a harrowing insight into religion and identity. Framed within the contemporary literary landscape of Pamuk, Ginsberg and Prenz, the reader is constantly shuttled between historical fact and modern dilemma, as 'Hamam Balkania' reminds us of lessons already learned.
