Mario Levi

Mario Levi tells in-striking formal stylistic expressions of the inbuilt stories of extraordinary characters living in an unusual neighborhood. It is a sad place that everyone once has made a wrong choice to change the whole flow of his life and then he consumes his life with this preference by running away from it.

Bu Oyunda Gitmek Vardi

Entre chronique florissante et fabuleux conte moderne, cette myriade de récits entremêle le quotidien de trois générations de juifs stambouliotes au XXe siècle.

A major work of contemporary Turkish literature, Istanbul Was a Fairy Tale tells the stories of three generations of a Jewish family from the 1920s to the 1980s. Istanbul is their only home, and yet they live in a state of alienation, isolating themselves from the world around them. As witness, observer, and protagonist, the narrator—at once inside and outside of his story—records their many tales, as well as those of their friends and neighbors, creating an expansive mosaic of characters, each doing their best to survive the twentieth century.

Istanbul. Seat of empire. Melting pot where East meets West. Fingertip touching-point between continents. Even today there are many different versions of the city, different communities, distinct peoples, each with their own turbulent past and challenging interpretation of the present; each providing a distinct topography on which the fictions of the city can play out. This book brings together ten short stories from some of Turkey’s leading writers, taking us on a literary tour of the city, from its famous landmarks to its darkened back streets, exploring the culture, history, and most importantly people that make it the great city it is today. From the exiled writer recalling his appetite for a lost lover, to the mad, homeless man directing traffic in a freelance capacity… the contrasting perspectives of these stories surprise and delight in equal measure, and together present a new kind of guide to the city.

Bugünün Ustaları

Öykünün Şimdiki Zamanı

Ender Gürol

Follows the stories of three generations of a Jewish family living in Istanbul from the 1920s to the 1980s.

Our Best Love Story traces the end of a romance as an unnamed narrator wanders the streets of his city, attempting to endure his new solitude, taking refuge in remembered places and imagined companions. Told in a series of fragments, the novel wrestles powerfully but playfully with its own obligation to craft a satisfying story of love's formation, its decay, and its eventual end. Ultimately, Levi's novel asks readers to consider whether books, stories, reading, writing, the artificial life and companionship found in literature, can ever truly form an adequate response to the inescapable fact of human solitude.
