Another issue that I have with this book is how de Bellaigue chose to write it. It's not written like a traditional historical biography where the author describes the events and then writes how they interpret the facts. It's written in the present tense like a novel. I had issues with this writing style. First as somebody who has studied history extensively it's hard to determine where the line between facts from primary and secondary sources and the author's interpretation lie. And second de Bellaigue's writing style is overwrought. The buildings were formed of four structurally independent parts and exhibit remarkable structural ingenuity. We undertook major surgery to the complicated structure, which placed considerable constraints on modification, particularly in the Link Bridge, where a post-tensioned slab spans St Giles High Street. A carefully detailed sliding glass façade opening on to the new square has been inserted beneath, retaining the bridge’s appearance while providing a large new space for retail. In Centre Point House, several slabs have been removed to form a cathedral-like space, extending over 7m up to new clerestory glazing, carving out of the structure bays of expressive sculptural piers. The central character in the history is Pasha Ibrahim, "the Frank." He gained enormous power in the first half of Suleyman's reign through a close relationship with the Sultan. But as the history progresses, his ability to please the Sultan does not translate to success on the battlefield, and the armies he leads chronically fall short of their military goals.

Through this engaging version of one of the most incredible and sweeping power struggles in human history, you’ll find scheming mistresses, slaves who rise to great political power, famed architects, formidable pirate captains, the everyday mingling of Christian and Muslim peoples while more powerful people assert that the differences matter to those small folk, and much more. First the Great Council, all twenty-five hundred of them, must be brought down by lottery to thirty. The thirty then draw lots to reduce their number to nine, who elect forty. Another lottery sifts the forty to twelve who elect the next group of twenty-five, who are in turn reduced to nine. The nine elect forty-five who draw lots to determine the eleven who will elect the forty-one. The forty-one elect the Doge.”
Lion House is also just around the corner from the start of the Tissington Trail, a thirteen mile traffic free trail ideal for a relaxing walk or ride (bikes can be hired from the trail centre). Three bedrooms: 1 x king-size double with en-suite shower, basin and WC, 1 x double with en-suite shower, basin and WC, 1 x twin It had everything we needed and more... the location was great for exploring the Peak District. It was warm, even despite what the weather tried to do!!! The butcher and the vegetable shop are small but very nice. Unfortunately, we did not manage to visit the motor museum. Lion House was a very comfortable spacious property, carpets were a little tired & scruffy in places."
Gibberd architectswere appointed by DEFRA from theintial design stage through to planning, the practice then undertook interior design services for the building.The brief for this scheme was to create a building which was an exemplary precedent for sustainability within the UK. This was a key driver for the client who is a key public figure in environmental policy. The kitchen is georgeous and well equipped (thought a few more forks would be conviinient). The only thing you have to get used to is the AGA, a very special hearth/oven not easy to cook with for the uninformed.
A convenient location for exploring the Dartmoor NP with plenty of good walks without getting the car out. While Ibrahim is sponging off of Suleyman, Alvise Gritti, the bastard son of the Venetian Doge, has his sights set on Ibrahim. This look at the Venetians' inside access to Suleyman's most trusted advisor briefly gives hope to the medieval maritime empire that increasingly found itself squeezed between Spanish and Ottoman expansion. The fact that Suleyman focused so many of his energies on Vienna and Persia, when Venice and southern Italy were more feasable targets testifies to the true loyalties of these two men with origins in Venetian lands. Hayreddin Barbarossa (c. 1466/1483-1546), “King of Algiers,” red-bearded Muslim pirate turned Admiral of the Ottoman Navy We enjoyed cooking and sharing meals in the large kitchen, dining area. We were fortunate to have some lovely weather so we could also enjoy the garden. Everyone had their favourite downstairs areas that they relaxed in during the evening. The only negative for me is the heavy traffic at night on the road outside, as I prefer to keep a window open rather than using the fan provided. Other wise this is the perfect holiday property to enjoy and explore Ashbourne and the Peak District.
