Inhaltsangabe

Irfan Orga, author of Portrait of a Turkish Family, journeys to the centre of Turkey to stay with the Yürük nomads in the High Taurus mountains. He learns their traditions, listens to their legends and lives to feel that heroes dead a thousand years and abducted princesses turned mad by grief are still palpably alive. Orga enters a world untouched by politics or the march of world events. He reconnects us with a once-ubiquitous emotional landscape - a visceral place underpinned by elemental values.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Irfan Orga was born into a rich Ottoman family which was decimated, financially and emotionally, by the First World War. He joined the Turkish Air Force but was forced into exile by a law forbidding members of the armed forces to marry foreigners. Living in England with his Anglo-Irish wife and their son Ates, he was largely supported by his wife, though the publication of Portrait of a Turkish Family and The Caravan Moves On made him a literary celebrity in the 50s.
