Translated from the Turkish by Maureen Freely and Alexander Dawe. 240 pages. paperback. Cover design by David Bullen. Cover art by Abidin Dino. keywords: Literature Translated Turkey . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Sait Faik Abas?yan?k was born in Adapazar? in 1906 and died in Istanbul in 1954. In twelve books of short stories, two novels, and a book of poetry, Sait Faik's prose celebrates the natural world and renders in vivid detail the struggles of his characters: ancient coffeehouse proprietors and priests, dream-addled fishermen and poets of the Princes' Isles, lovers and wandering minstrels of another time. Many stories are loosely autobiographically and deal with Sait Faik's frustration with social convention, the relentless pace of westernization, and the slow yet steady ethnic cleansing of his city. Seemingly in keeping with the restrictions that the new Republic placed on language and culture, the fluid, limpid surfaces of these tales craftily veil the deeper truths lying in their subversive undercurrents. Sait Faik is greatly revered to this day, lending his name to Turkey's most prestigious short story award. Nearly every Turk knows by heart a line or a story by Sait Faik. inventory #41698 Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers.
