The events described in our history refer to the time when the question: “Who the hell brought you to these galleys?” - had no allegorical meaning. The women were not only cunning, but also beautiful, and the diplomats were no worse with a sword than with a pen. The gallant eighteenth century was coming. Europe was no longer afraid of Turkey, which had been beaten many times over, and the aging Ottoman Empire looked warily at the growing Christian world. During these formidable and amazing years lived our hero - a man about whose incredible fate you can write an adventure novel or a detective story, but most of all it resembles a Hollywood adventure film.
