Chestnut Black

Kestane Karasi, set in Burgazada in the late 1940s, is the first novel of Engin Aktel, who worked as a journalist for years. Engin Aktel wrote this book based on what he heard and his testimonies. Kestane Karasi is a novel in which the sea plays the leading role and fish and people continue their fight for survival in supporting roles, and it drags the reader along. You will go fishing with them, and sometimes you will return with your hands full, sometimes tired from the wrath of the sea. You will sit in the cafes of Burgazada, chat and have a drink in the taverns. But each time you will realize that the real power that holds life in its hands is the sea. On this island with such limited geographical borders, you will witness that people's anger and hatred, as well as their friendship and love, are as vast as the sea. And the sea always gets its share...

Kestane Karası... One of the most terrible storms. Burgazada.. One of the most popular islands of Marmara with its cosmopolitan people and natural beauties. The time is the end of the 1940s. The unknown story of a familiar world.
