Yet, once again, its position as an international power is ambiguous. It straddles the Occident and the Orient, yet it is neither comfortable with or trusted by either East or West. Beneath its glittering exterior, Turkey is a dormant volcano, ready to explode again, as it has done so many times throughout history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLEGACY\u003c\/i\u003e, we meet Turhan Türkoğlu and Abbas Hükümdar, victims of unspeakable poverty and cruelty, each of whom will walk entirely different paths in life. We come face to face with Halide Orhan, one of the greatest heroines of modern literature. In this volume, we witness the death throes of a decaying superpower, the Ottoman Empire, and the beginning of the modern era, marked by the horrors of World War I. Each of these three characters leave their indelible imprint on their Motherland. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHugo N.
