Bosphorus is the Grand Canal J 'had discovered the writings of Jason Goodwin
his
Conspiracy Janissaries, a novel which I spent
ticket. And I wanted to let me try again by one of his novels. So I decided to choose
Mystery Bellini (10-18, Great detective series, 2009, ISBN 978-2-264-05071-7; original title
The Bellini Card , 2008) was the possibility of finding these characters, the subtle and insightful eunuch Hashim and his friend Stanislaw Palewski, ambassador of Poland, which has been torn between the claws of its voracious neighbors, but in a setting that was not confined to Istanbul. Indeed, this Mystery Bellini e largely set in Venice, a city whose past is both a rival and a sort of kinship in Istanbul.
I did very little interest in the Venice of the early nineteenth century as the Venice of Settencento is my preference. Also, discover the Venice under the heel of Austria, and these Venetians shared their gaze toward an uncertain future and looking towards their glorious past late and was a novelty.
Jason Goodwin invites us to dive into these murky waters where swim the Austrian police, officers Ottoman, Venetian aristocrats, false and true American art lovers, the traces of a painted portrait of the great Bellini would Mehmet the Conqueror. All complemented by a more contemplative moments, like those where the author makes us share the love of Hashem for the food and delicious dishes. Accept the invitation
therefore, there are people there of interesting company.
