St. Petersburg manuscript

Jan Dost

In the corridors of the nineteenth century, between the cold walls of St. Petersburg and the ambiguous alleys of Erzurum, lies a manuscript capable of changing the course of history. Its pages were not merely words, but secrets and tales of peoples being erased and a memory being plundered.
A journey that begins with the pen of Mulla Mahmoud Al-Bayzidi, intertwined with the ambitions of consuls and orientalists, and with the game of superpowers that made knowledge an arena of merciless conflict. Every city tells a part of the story, and every page carries the shadow of betrayal or a true flash, until the search for the manuscript becomes a journey in the face of oblivion and loss.
The Petersburg manuscript is a mirror to the present day... where the question remains unanswered:
What secrets are still hidden in the pages of forgotten history?
