Synopsis "Madonna in a fur Coat "

The bestselling Turkish classic of love and loss in a changing world, with a new introduction by David Selim Sayers'A heart-breaker . . . it has the kind of indefinably powerful impact of The Great Gatsby' Observer'It is, perhaps, easier to dismiss a man whose face gives no indication of an inner life. And what a pity that is: a dash of curiosity is all it takes to stumble upon treasures we never expected.'A shy young man leaves his home in rural Turkey to learn a trade in 1920s Berlin. The city's crowded streets, thriving arts scene, passionate politics and seedy cabarets provide the backdrop for a chance meeting with a woman, which will haunt him for the rest of his life. Emotionally powerful, intensely atmospheric and touchingly profound, Madonna in a Fur Coat is an unforgettable novel about new beginnings and the unfathomable nature of the human soul.'A miniature masterpiece' The National'A gorgeously melancholic romance' Irish Times

Sabahattin Ali (1907-1948) was a prominent Turkish novelist, poet, and journalist, considered a pioneer of modern Turkish literature. Born in a region of the Ottoman Empire that today belongs to Bulgaria, he was educated in Turkey and Germany, and worked as a German teacher in high schools. His work is characterized by a deep exploration of Turkish society and a subtle critique of the political structures of his time.

Among his most recognized novels are "Madonna in a Fur Coat" (1943) and "Yusuf of the Village" (1937), both belonging to the genre of realistic novel. Additionally, he published several collections of stories, such as "The Mill" (1935) and "Ox Cart" (1936). His political commitment and his criticisms of Kemal Atatürk's government led to his imprisonment on two occasions, and his works were banned until 1965.
