This book is much more than a simple historical work. It is an immersion in the vast and complex history of the Turkish peoples, who have occupied a central place on the world stage throughout the ages. From their nomadic origins to their modern renaissance, the Turks have always been at the crossroads of great civilizations, influencing regions as varied as Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

The author highlights an inescapable fact: to read history without taking into account the role of the Turks is to ignore a primordial part of world history. Their presence and influence were so profound that, for decades, they dominated empires, shaped dynasties and redrawn political and cultural boundaries. Whether through the empire of the Huns, the Göktürks, the Seljuks or the Ottomans, the Turks left their mark on their era, becoming key players in world history.

This book doesn't just recount the facts, it also takes an in-depth look at the Turkic ideal, a powerful concept that spans the centuries and finds a particular resonance today in the revival of Turkish-speaking peoples. In the modern era, this ideal manifests itself in the dream of the Turan, a union of Turkish nations that aspires to restore past glory, while adapting to current geopolitical challenges.

With historical accuracy and nuanced analysis, this book also highlights how, at every stage in their history, the Turks have established themselves as a strategic bridge between East and West, significantly influencing major power dynamics. Whether in culture, war, science or religion, they have helped shape the world we live in today.

"The Origin and Renaissance of the Turkish Peoples" reminds us that the Turks have been, and remain, a key people in world history. Anyone wishing to understand the great movements of history, from past to future, must delve into this fascinating fresco.
