À propos de cet audio
By understanding the dramatic story of the Ottoman Empire - from its early years as a collection of raiders and conquerors to its undeniable power in the 15th and 16th centuries to its catastrophic collapse in the wreckage of the First World War - one can better grasp the current complexities of the Middle East.
Over the course of these 36 enlightening lectures, investigate over 600 years of history that covers the nature of Ottoman identity, the achievements of the Sultan's court, and stories of confrontation and cooperation with the West.
Befitting a story of such epic scope and grandeur, every lecture is a treasure trove of historical insights into the people, events, themes, and locales responsible for shaping the story of this often-overlooked empire. You'll cover everything from Rumi, the whirling dervishes, and the importance of the sultan's grand viziers to the wars of Sultan Suleiman I, the shadowy politics of the Committee of Union and Progress, and the birth of the Turkish Republic under Kemal Atatürk.
Welcome to a fascinating story of the triumph and tragedy, war and peace, intellectual progress and civil insurrection of a great empire that, for all its glory and grandeur, has left an important legacy that will shape the future of the Balkan nation-states, the Turkish Republic, and the Arab world - and those of us in the West as well.

As one of the most potent turning points in the country's modern history, the Opium War has since come to stand for everything that today's China seeks to put behind it. In this dramatic, epic story, award-winning historian Stephen Platt sheds new light on the early attempts by Western traders and missionaries to "open" China even as China's imperial rulers were struggling to manage their country's decline and Confucian scholars grappled with how to use foreign trade to China's advantage.

The Hudson’s Bay Company started out small in 1670, trading practical manufactured goods for furs with the indigenous inhabitants of inland subarctic Canada. Controlled by a handful of English aristocrats, it expanded into a powerful political force that ruled the lives of many thousands of people - from the lowlands south and west of Hudson Bay, to the tundra, the great plains, the Rocky Mountains, and the Pacific Northwest.

Between 1861 and 1865, the clash of the greatest armies the Western hemisphere had ever seen turned small towns, little-known streams, and obscure meadows in the American countryside into names we will always remember. In those great battles, those streams ran red with blood-and the United States was truly born.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 9
The Ottoman Empire has long been depicted as the Islamic Asian antithesis of the Christian European West. But the reality was starkly different: the Ottomans’ multiethnic, multilingual, and multireligious domain reached deep into Europe’s heart. Indeed, the Ottoman rulers saw themselves as the new Romans. Recounting the Ottomans’ remarkable rise from a frontier principality to a world empire, historian Marc David Baer traces their debts to their Turkish, Mongolian, Islamic, and Byzantine heritage.

The Roman Republic is one of the most breathtaking civilizations in world history. Between roughly 500 BCE to the turn of the millennium, a modest city-state developed an innovative system of government and expanded into far-flung territories across Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. This powerful civilization inspired America's founding fathers, gifted us a blueprint for amazing engineering innovations, left a vital trove of myths, and has inspired the human imagination for 2,000 years.

A Fair History of the 500 year Ottoman Empire
As a Westerner I am trying to get a greater understanding of Islam history and culture. I knew very little about the Ottoman Empire. I learned a lot about the Empire and Islam but as a 'bonus' I also learned a lot about the Balkins, Austria- Hungarian Empire, Egypt , Greece, Armenia,Iran, Greek Orthodox Church, Russia, and modern day Turkey.

Terrific!
Really amazing story of a historical period with lots of lasting consequences to date. Kenneth Harl's mastery of the concepts, even those deep within the Islamic and Turkish traditions is really superb. And his narration brings everything to life as if you are watching a great series. I really enjoyed this and I'm kind of sad it's finished!

Professor Harl is a knowledgeable individual with unique insight, but his over-use of 'umm' and 'uh' was a little distracting. Overall an excellent and engaging series, I would recommend.

Good overview of the Ottoman Empire but somewhat biased
Overall excellent, but there are 2 issues that keep it from that mark.
1. The narrator does not pronounce a lot of things like everyone else. For example: Allies (Britain and France were allies in WWII) he pronounces (a lies) with emphasis on lies and it changes. Many more examples.
2. He’s a bit of an Ottoman fanboy and I see a strong ‘pro Ottoman’ bias. Slavery was a huge part of the Ottoman Empire for centuries. The Ottomans compete to be the number 1 slave nation in history. Families were broken with no consideration, forced contribution of children to the Janissary Corp. Never to be seen again by the family.
He treats the Millets like it was done as a favour for the ethnic religious groups when it was simply the most efficient way to get result from non-Muslim populations. That being said it’s still very good and worth listening too.

Informative But Unable To Hold Attention
Tulane University History Professor Kenneth W. Harl endeavors to lead learners through a 36-lecture exposition of an Empire established after the end of the dark ages and lasting through to the 20th century.
Harl does a very nice job establishing the Empire's identity as an Islamic theocracy, but also discusses economic power, secular successes, and the ever-present militant reality (endless wars) of the kingdom - particularly recurrent battles against Romanians/Hungarians, other Balkan States, Venetians, Habsburgs & Russians.. but constantly pitting the Sunni Sultans in Constantinople/Istanbul against a parade of Shiite Shahs in Iran.
The sheer volume of material continuously reminds learners that there is much more to the story than what Harl can convey in this lecture series (Harl drops references to names & events he assumes listeners know intimately). This is no Beginner Course.
Besides, what IS delivered frankly isn't all that captivating in the first place: I frequently found my mind wandering.
As to presentation: The production values from Teaching Company/The Great Courses on this audiocourse are outstanding. The Syllabus-quality PDF is presented in full color, includes photographs and maps, and contains lecture-by-lecture summaries that make the course material incredibly clear.
Content-appropriate musical bumpers bookend each lecture, volume control is flawless, and the softening of the lecturer's natural sibilance is noticeable.
Well done.
Less fortunately, Professor Harl's diction/pronunciation is subpar, he "Ums and Uhs" his way through the lectures, and can't quite stick with his off-the-cuff teaching style (at times sounding like he's just reading notes). I have definitely heard better from this instructor.
Taken in toto, this 7.5/10-star course is a great listen - but inferior in terms of utility. Academics could likely get something out of this overly ambitious review of a fascinating 800-year political empire built around religion and conflict.. but casual listeners like me (merely fascinated by history) will have trouble struggling through the volume and mining the course for informative gems. If you are able to get it as a 'Plus' offering, 'The Ottoman Empire' is worth the time investment.. but if they ask for a Credit, spend it on something else.
[ATTN PRODUCERS: While it's great, the inclusion of a Timeline would improve the appended PDF immeasurably]

Great material but terrible speaker.
Holy smokes! This is the second time I’ve listen to one of Dr Harl’s courses and, while what he says is interesting, the way he says it is quite off-putting. His pronunciation—regional preferences, I guess—is distracting; his grammar is questionable; and he “hums” and “uhs” at record levels. It’s really too bad. I love the material but it really is a challenge to get through the narration. I will persevere, but if this kind of thing bothers you, be warned.
