Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. THE ORACLE OF STAMBOUL is a magical historical novel about an astonishing eight-year-old girl in the last days of the Ottoman Empire. It is 1877, on the shores of the Black Sea, and the omens for the newborn Eleonora Cohen are hardly promising. Not only does her mother die in childbirth, but her village is being attacked by the Tsar's Royal Cavalry. However, despite this bad beginning, a sour stepmother and a traumatic journey in the hold of a ship, young Eleonora grows into a remarkably clever but very engaging child. And when a heartbreaking tragedy leaves her marooned in Istanbul, where spies and boarded-up harems and sudden death are as much a part of life as delicious spices, Paris fashions and rosewater, it is Eleonora's extraordinary courage and character which lead her straight to the Sultan's court, and to her salvation.

Eine schillernde Stadt voller exotischer Gerüche und unbekannter Klänge. Ein Weltreich kurz vor dem Zerfall. Ein Herrscher, der keinen Ausweg mehr sieht. Und ein junges Mädchen, das die Menschen verzaubert und dazu berufen scheint, den Lauf der Weltgeschichte zu verändern. Es ist der Spätsommer 1877. In Constanta am Schwarzen Meer schwebt ein Schwarm Wiedehopfe über dem Haus von Yakob Cohen und seiner Frau Leah. Er kündigt die Geburt eines besonderen Mädchens an, Eleonora. Noch ehe sie das achte Lebensjahr erreicht, lernt sie Lesen und kennt sieben Sprachen. Als ihr Vater geschäftlich nach Istanbul reisen muß, folgt ihm Eleonora als blinder Passagier. Am Bosporus entdeckt sie eine neue Welt der Farbenpracht und geheimnisvollen Eleganz. Doch selbst hier bleiben ihre außergewöhnlichen Gaben nicht lange unentdeckt. Bald schon erfährt auch der Palast des Sultans vom Wunderkind. Abdülhamid II. ist sofort von Eleonora verzaubert und macht sie zu seiner persönlichen Beraterin. Unversehens liegen Wohl und Wehe des Osmanischen Reiches in den Händen einer Achtjährigen. - Michael David Lukas wurde 1979 in Berkeley/Kalifornien geboren, lebte längere Zeit in der Türkei, Israel und Tunesien.
