Description
Set on the fictional island of Mingheria in the early 20th century, this novel plunges readers into the heart of an Ottoman province grappling with a devastating plague. As the epidemic spreads, the island's inhabitants find themselves caught between superstition, scientific uncertainty, and political maneuvering. The narrative masterfully explores themes of nationalism, ethnic and religious conflict, and the complex interplay between leadership, propaganda, and public response during a crisis. Through a richly imagined world and a playful yet profound approach, the story offers a sharp critique of how nations are formed and the often-absurd realities of power.
