About the book: 2010 / In a fascinating form, the author of "Notes of a Janissary" Konstantin Mikhailovich from Ostrovitsa, a Serb by birth, tells about his adventures in Turkish captivity, about everyday life, life, customs of the Turkish population, about the struggle of the Slavic peoples against the conquerors. The author's biography and his stories about his dizzying career in the ranks of the Turkish army are interesting. The book is not only a source on medieval history, but also an excellent literary work.
