Tainted Heroes

Set in the Ottoman province of Macedonia in the turbulent years 1903-1908, Tainted Heroes describes the desinte-gration of a multi-ethnic world challenged by its neighbors and their visions of a new order. It is based on true events and is peopled by real part-icipants in those events. Swayed by fear, hate, or dreams of glory, many throw themselves into the conflict.

City of Man's Desire

A young Greek girl comes of age in the twilight atmosphere of early twentieth-century Con-stantinople: a story of love, sexual awakening, and the pain of loss against the backdrop of ethnic rivalry and political turmoil.

Cornelia Golna grew up and studied in the United States. She left America as a young woman to search for her roots, a journey that took her to Greece and Turkey, ultimately to communist Romania. She was inspired by her odyssey to delve deeper into the past of her parents’ Balkan world to its fascinating predecessor, the dying Ottoman Empire, the backdrop of her novels, City of Man’s Desire: A Novel of Constantinople and Tainted Heroes.
