I came here with the sharing of a book that I bought for my 8th grade daughter to read and read with great voracity.
Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu's place and importance in Turkish literature is very great. This book contains short stories consisting of two parts. The stories in the first part include articles written based on real, experienced events and memories. These articles describe our Anatolian people in the face of enemy occupation and oppression on the western front after the great mobilization, that is, World War I. Our author gave the second chapter the title Mixed Stories. In this section, the chaos and congestion experienced by the people of Istanbul, who have been subjected to westernization, European and material and moral occupation, is explained and a few letters are also included.
It was a book full of experiences, each one of which made me feel heartbroken while reading it and thought that this was too much.
May God not let us experience those days again. May God have mercy on our martyrs and veterans who lived through those difficult days and enabled us to live freely under our star and crescent flag today.
A book that I was late to read. You should definitely read it too.
