The Wizard King: A Story Of The Last Moslem Invasion Of Europe is a historical novel written by David Ker and first published in 1895. The story is set in the late 17th century and follows the last Muslim invasion of Europe, led by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed IV. The novel centers around the character of Mustapha, a young Muslim warrior who becomes the right-hand man of Mehmed IV and plays a crucial role in the invasion. The novel is divided into four parts, each one focusing on a different stage of the invasion. The first part introduces the reader to Mustapha and his journey to the Ottoman Empire, where he meets Mehmed IV and is recruited into his army. The second part describes the preparations for the invasion and the battles that take place in Hungary and Austria. The third part follows the invasion as it reaches the gates of Vienna, where the Muslim army faces its greatest challenge. The final part deals with the aftermath of the invasion and the impact it has on the characters.The Wizard King is a vivid portrayal of a historical event that had a significant impact on Europe and the Muslim world. The novel is rich in detail and provides an insight into the political, cultural, and religious context of the time. It also explores themes such as loyalty, betrayal, and the clash of civilizations. The characters are well-developed and the plot is engaging, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in historical fiction or the history of Europe and the Ottoman Empire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
