THIS book is concerned with the story of man on the southeastern projection of Europe, known as the Balkan peninsula. For practical purposes the story begins with the Greeks, because the Greeks, though not the original inhabitants of the peninsula, were the first to leave a clear record of themselves and their neighbors. From the Hellenic period, when the mists hiding the land from view begin to lift, to the twentieth century of the Christian era is a span of about three thousand years. During that long stretch of time what migrations, wars, settlements, worships, and civilizations make their appearance in the deep perspective of Balkan history! What peoples march across the soil, fair-haired, strong-limbed warriors clothed in skins, succeeded by dark, bronzed men, curved over the backs of horses and alert for plunder! What empires come and go, one moment mounting resistlessly like a wave of the sea, the next dissolving in a cloud of spray! An epic tale is about to engage our attention calling for infinite patience with the intricacies of a deliberately moving plot and demanding an unswerving attachment to pilgrim man as well as a constantly renewed interest in the riddle of his destiny...

This is a tale of East and West, of Christianity and Islam and the age-old struggle between them. By focusing on the larger-than-life personalities of two Balkan men who were taken from their Serbian homeland and introduced into the Turkish Sultan's private guard, the author provides us with a harrowing insight into religion and identity. Framed within the contemporary literary landscape of Pamuk, Ginsberg and Prenz, the reader is constantly shuttled between historical fact and modern dilemma, as 'Hamam Balkania' reminds us of lessons already learned.
