Prisoner of the Infidels - The Memoir of an Ottoman Muslim in Seventeenth-Century Europe

“An invaluable read for anyone interested in Ottoman, European, and early modern history. This rich and lively memoir, written by an Ottoman captive who enters into Viennese society, will change your view of where Muslims belong in European history.”—Molly Greene, Professor of History and Hellenic Studies, Princeton University

"The account of Osman of Timişoara is unique as one of the few examples of early modern Ottoman autobiography, as well as a very rare Muslim slave narrative. Giancarlo Casale breathes life into Osman’s tale in this sparkling translation, which will be of great value and interest to scholars and students alike."—Eric Dursteler, Professor of History, Brigham Young University
