The Architect's Apprentice: The sweeping historical novel from the Booker Prize shortlisted author of The Island of Missing Trees - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
A dazzling and intricate tale from the Booker-shortlisted author of The Island of Missing Trees, and 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World.
'There were six of us: the master, the apprentices and the white elephant. We built everything together...'
Sixteenth-century Istanbul: a stowaway arrives in the city bearing an extraordinary gift for the Sultan. The boy is utterly alone in a foreign land, with no worldly possessions to his name except Chota, a rare white elephant destined for the palace menagerie.
So begins an epic adventure that will see young Jahan rise from lowly origins to the highest ranks of the Sultan's court. Along the way he will meet deceitful courtiers and false friends, gypsies, animal tamers, and the beautiful, mischievous Princess Mihrimah. He will journey on Chota's back to the furthest corners of the Sultan's kingdom and back again. And one day he will catch the eye of the royal architect, Sinan, a chance encounter destined to change Jahan's fortunes forever.
The Architect's Apprentice is a magical, sweeping tale of one boy and his elephant caught up in a world of wonder and danger.

'Fascinating. A vigorous evocation of the Ottoman Empire at the height of its power' Sunday Times
'Intricate, multi-layered, resplendent, vividly evoked, beautifully written' Observer
