Produktbeschreibung
Atatürk was the founding father of the new Republic of Turkey after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, and Meiji was the 122nd Emperor of Japan, who established a new system of government in Japan following the departure of the last shogun. This historic novel is about two of the most inspiring leaders of all time, Atatürk and Emperor Meiji of Japan, and the destinies of the countries they changed.

The events take place in Heaven, under the Tuba Tree, which according to Atatürk's belief, is a place where all worldly past experiences can be re-lived and new ones can be created. The author goes into a detailed description of the gates of Heaven, and the first meeting of Atatürk and Emperor Meiji there. Each man takes the other to his native land and presents him with experiences, which he had not had the opportunity to live in his past worldly life. They will race horses under the unending streches of the Tuba Tree, they will take a train ride from Istanbul to Edirne, the home of ancient Turkish oil wrestling festival; they will engage in a funny horse shoe game, they will exchange amusing stories of their past lives on Earth.
