Yüksek Fırınlar

Big Ibrahim is a strange worker in abroad. He lives in Duisburg, Germany, with his wife Elif and daughter Gülten, and works in front of the blast furnaces during the tough fight for bread. As the ill-wishers beat him in the face, he dreams of saving money quickly and returning to his homeland; But he knows that leaving these lands is as difficult as coming. What will happen if he walks away? In the country, bread is in the lion's mouth; Moreover, the situation is quite complicated: Young lives are being wasted in prisons...

The more his heart burns, the more broken his heart is for Ibrahim. The disease took his first wife from him, and the second one. While he is left feeling a little bit bitter and his dignity being trampled underfoot, he chooses Elif, the Turkmen Girl, as his wife with a brand new hope. Big Ibrahim asks her to be an honorable person and to give birth to a son. Their first baby is a girl, and the second is on the way. This time, Ibrahim achieves his goal; Baby Deniz says hello to the world. But now such a doubt has fallen into his heart that he sees neither his wife nor his baby...

In this novel, Fakir Baykurt tells the story of a group of workers' families in Germany. He includes both Germany and the general structure of the Turkish families living there in his story, in a wide range of topics ranging from working conditions to the problem of adaptation, from traditional family life to the sense of honor, in a way worthy of his mastery.
