An exciting reconstruction of the life of the most feared and powerful man of the sixteenth century.
The book "The Lion at Home" takes us to Venice in 1522, where news arrives from the east confirming Europe's greatest fear: the wealthy Ottoman Sultan has everything needed to declare total war, and his attention is focused on Rome. With Christianity divided, Suleiman the Magnificent has his hand at its throat.
From the palaces of Constantinople to the battlefields of central Europe and the scorched shores of North Africa, the story recounts the true tale of two cultures in an existential confrontation and the rise of the most feared man of the sixteenth century. It is a story about the timeless allure of power, dangerous to live with, deadly to live without.
