Title : Djem - Roderick Conway Morris - book

Summary :

This novel is based on historical facts that have fascinated mankind since the 15th century. Djem, the younger son of Mehmet II, the conqueror of Constantinople, really did exist. This prince, gifted in the arts, open to both Christianity and Islam, and curious about everything that came from the West, was at the center of a fierce succession dispute upon his father's death. Defeated by his brother, taken in by the Knights of Rhodes in 1482, then received as a "guest" in France and hidden to escape assassination attempts, he would later be at the heart of particularly devious political and religious intrigues. Some dream of a new crusade, others of a hidden treasure... Between the Borgias, the Pope, the kings, and the dissatisfied master of a vast Ottoman Empire, Djem, in order to survive, could not indefinitely retreat into proud distress.
