The twenty two essays collected in Turkish Language, Literature and
History offer insights into Turkish culture in the widest sense.
Written by leaders in their fields from North America, Europe and
Turkey, these essays cover a broad range of topics, focusing on
various aspects of Turkish language, literature and history between
the eighth century and the present. The chapters move between
ancient and contemporary literature, exploring Sultan Selim's
interest in dream interpretation, translating newly uncovered
poetry and exploring the works of Orhan Pamuk. Linguistic
complexities of the Turkish language and dialects are analysed,
while new translations of 16th century decrees offer insight into
Ottoman justice and power. This is a festschrift volume published
for the leading scholar Bob Dankoff, and the diverse topics covered
in these essays reflect Dankoff's valuable contributions to the
study of Turkish language and literature. This cross-disciplinary
book offers contributions from academics specialising in
linguistics, history, literature and sociology, amongst others. As
such, it is of key interest to scholars working in a variety of
disciplines, with a focus on Turkish Studies.

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1904 Edition.
1904. This is the autobiographical account of Bill Hickman, Chief
of the Destroying Angels, Head Danite, etc. After Mr. Beadle began
to examine the history of the Mormon church; and while all the
Mormon people spoke of Bill Hickman as a desperately bad man, and
guilty of untold murders, he was struck by two curious and then
unexplainable facts. The first was that while everybody, from
Brigham Young down, united in calling Hickman a murderer, and while
evidence could easily be collected of several of his crimes, not a
single attempt has been made by priest or people to bring him to
justice. The second point is that long after Hickman was known as a
murderer, he was successively promoted to a number of offices; he
was Sheriff and Representative of one county, Assessor and
Collector of Taxes, and Marshal; and during all this time he was on
terms of personal intimacy with Brigham Young.
