The Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror - Conquest of Constantinople 1453 | Oğuz Tiryaki Oğlu

The conquest of Constantinople is a topic that arouses the curiosity of many who wish to know its secrets and mysterious hidden aspects. For this city, which remained steadfast in the face of the Ottomans' numerous attempts to conquer it, finally bowed and surrendered to its fate. It bowed in respect before a sultan known for his culture, cunning, and military ingenuity despite his young age. He is Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, who led a massive army to Constantinople, besieged it, challenging all difficulties, overcoming all obstacles, and facing all conspiracies that sought to discourage him and ruin his plans. He is the sultan who impressed Europe with his shrewdness and instilled fear in the Byzantines with his determination and capabilities. He is Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, who was foretold by the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, with the words: "You will surely conquer Constantinople, and what a wonderful leader is its leader, and what a wonderful army that army is." In this narrative, Okyay Tiryakioglu documents the real/historical episodes of the conquest of Constantinople (1453 AD) by Sultan Mehmed, using a novelistic narration as a framework for the events of history, with a clear epic style that recalls the facts, events, and people, providing us with a comprehensive picture of that time, place, religions, and people with their various manifestations, especially from a political and cultural perspective. The style is engaging, increasing our admiration for this great sultan, his eternal empire, and his conquests extending east and west, especially the conquest of Constantinople — now Istanbul — which marked the beginning of the Muslims' dominance that lasted for centuries and is undeniable. Oh, how fortunate are those who carried the spirit of those days in their hearts as an unquenchable flame, passing it on to future generations... It is worth mentioning that the novel "The Conqueror Sultan... The Conquest of Constantinople 1453" is the fourth work by the Turkish author Okyay Tiryakioglu (Arab Scientific Publishers), following three novels: "Sultan Selim the Lawgiver, Lord of the Wonderful Era," "The Lawgiver: The Sword Does Not Establish Justice," and "Sultan Selim Khan I: Yavuz the Decisive Sultan."
