Ahmet Nurudin is a dervish and head of the Islamic monastery of the Mevlevi order in Sarajevo. He is a personification of moral and dogmatic beliefs, everything that the Muslim religion of the Ottoman rule rests on. Throughout his life, the atmosphere of the city, the relations with the judge, and the mechanism of government, the image of the Ottoman Empire at the beginning of the nineteenth century is being revealed.
