  Essays illuminate the lives of ordinary people who lived in
  the Ottoman era.
  Drawing from centuries-old court records, The Other
  Faces of Empire traces the lives of outstage people in
  vast empire lands. Each essay in the collection tells the story
  of an ordinary person navigating the Ottoman Empire. On
  this journey, we meet colorful and quite extraordinary
  figures: Deli Şaban, naughty and haramzade with his
  unsuccessful suicide attempts; Divane Hamza, who harassed
  the people in the village of Evciler in Bursa; Mâryem of
  Konya, who killed her husbands and buried them in the floor
  of a room of her house; Alaeddin from Skopje, who was
  captured by pirates; Nicolò Algarotti, a Venetian broker; and
  many others.
  The volume's micro-historical perspective strengthens its
  place in historiography, and moreover, it updates the
  historical record by sharing the overlooked stories of
  ordinary people and recording their names in the Ottoman
  historical literature one by one.
