"The Sultan and His People" by C. Oscanyan is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book offers insights into the cultural, social, and political landscape of the Ottoman Empire, with a focus on the relationship between the Sultan and the diverse populations within his realm. Oscanyan aims to dispel myths and prejudices surrounding Eastern life and customs while presenting a vivid portrayal of Turkish society. At the start of the book, the author sets the tone with a reflective exploration of the transient nature of human existence and the contrasting permanence of historical knowledge. He emphasizes the fascination of the Western world with the Orient and aims to provide a deeper understanding of Turkish life and culture, noting the misunderstandings that arise from a lack of direct experience with the region. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for a more detailed examination of various aspects of Turkish society, including its history, religious beliefs, governance, and customs, as presented from the perspective of a native of Constantinople.
