Last Sephardic

1492.
The Andalusian Civilization is being massacred.
The whole world remains a spectator.
Except for an Ottoman Sultan...

The Ottoman agent in Andalusia, Kara Davud, longs for his wife Elif and waits to return to his own land. He faces the most challenging task of his life...

With the collapse of the Islamic Empire of Granada, the only obstacle to Catholic Europe is now the Sephardim, that is, the Andalusian Jews.

The Inquisition burns thousands of books every day and is about to commit the greatest barbaric crime in history. David Marrano, one of the hundreds of thousands of Jews who had to hide his faith, secretly copies Hebrew and Arabic books, trying to continue the ancient culture of Andalusia. However, the Inquisition has also found the traces of David and his love Esther.

Spanish sailor Christopher Columbus is on the verge of a discovery that will change world history, with the maps he seized from library plunder and the crew he formed from Muslims and Jews thrown into dungeons.

Black Davud reported all these developments in Spain to the capital for years. Thus, Sultan Bayezid will launch one of the largest rescue operations in history. However, Crusader pirates in the Mediterranean and Catholic knights in Spain will make this mission impossible...

David's secret past, book hunter Santiago's internal conflict and young calligrapher Bayezid's relationship with his own self. While the war is the main theme of the novel, Turkish sailors Kemal and Burak Reisler and young Piri Reis are the other colorful characters of this epic.

Beyazıt Akman's first novel, The First Day of the World, about Fatih the Conqueror, received great acclaim and inspired historical productions. The second novel of the young author, who is a lecturer in the field of World Literature in America, The Last Sephardic offers both an elegy for Andalusia and a lesson in humanity that is missing even in the 21st century. Get ready for another breathtaking adventure like a movie...
