Old but gold
"Sürekli beni sokan yılanları anlatırsam buradan arabesk çıkar. Ben kimin yılanıyım diye sormaya başlarsam buradan ahlak (güzellik) çıkar."
Vezir Gambiti
Btw it is almost more than a year I haven't read some books but when I come here to see what people read, I just run into old books and old authors
Old is gold?
No creativity for new books and author s?

The barbarian kings of Italy pursued their own interests, but they ruled, to begin with at least, in the name of the distant Emperor in Constantinople, maintaining and honouring the Roman Senate, and accepting the honorific title ‘Patrician of the Romans’. Even Odoacer’s ferocious successor Theoderic, a man who could sign his own name only with the help of a stencil cut from a plate of gold, accepted and exploited the fiction of empire. Theoderic adopted Roman dress, and his coinage carried the image of the Emperor. The Gothic kings based themselves on the Adriatic coast, in the old capital of the Western empire at Ravenna, and the glamour of Rome persisted. As Theoderic himself declared, ‘Any Goth who can, wants to be a Roman: no Roman wants to be a Goth.’
When a consul threatened the withdrawal of all Venetian merchants from Alexandria, the sultan responded that ‘as to the power of you Venetians, and after that of the rest of Christendom, I hold … it not so high as a pair of old shoes’. There was an element of bluff within this – the Mamluks needed the influx of European gold – but the abuses continued. Sometimes the consul himself was beaten and imprisoned.
