Book Review: Shadow of God

Title: Shadow of god
Writer: Anthony Goodman
Year: 2003
Pages: 464

The title 'Shadow of God' is one of the many Ottoman Sultans used for many years and this book is a story about one of the greatest among them: Kanuni Sultan Suleyman,Souleyman the Magnificient.
The book is about the siege and surrender of Rhodoes island and exile of Rhodos nights to Malta.
It is a fastmoving,exciting historic novel.I liked it very much. I bought it from Kadikoy Alkim but it is available on amazon.

After one week in Justiniano Wish

We spent the first week of July at Justiniano Wish Side.We booked the hotel from touristica which I liked the quality.But the same does not apply for justiniano, although the rooms were nice and pool was big there were few animations shows. In fact the animation team and the DJ were disastorous.The food quality was also low. I do not recommend Justiniano to anyone.God bless Magic Life!.

Title: 1000 Masterpieces of European Painting: From 1300 to 1850
Writer: Christiane Stukenbrock , Barbara Topper
Year: 2005
Pages: 1008

As the book title already describe, the book presents the pictures and information of a thousand wonderful European paintings from Van Dyck to Leonardo and many more... . I bought it from Sevda Cenap And Music Foundation Book Store at Tunali/Ankara but the the amazon.com link is here. I absolutely recommend the book to anyone interested in arts and painting. The paper and picture qualities are high but the book is heavy as a brick:)
