Blind Owl

The Blind Owl is a unique literary journey where dream and reality, light and darkness, hope and despair intertwine...

The Blind Owl, by Sâdık Hidâyet, who made Iranian literature a part of international literature and is considered the "Kafaf of the East", is, in a word, a "unique" text: With its hero whose mind is slowly falling apart and losing his identity; with the inability to understand what is real and what is a dream; with the intertwining of past and present; With its changing and transforming atmosphere amid opium smoke; with a melancholic, pessimistic, dark mood; with its unsettling…

The Blind Owl, which makes the reader feel as if they are in front of a surrealist painting, is a novel of a great reckoning with life, childhood, memories, love, sexuality, existence, God and death.

“If there is such a thing as a masterpiece, this is it!”

- André Breton -

“There are two driving forces at the heart of the character created by Sâdık Hidâyet: The desire to create and be forgotten, and the desire to die and retreat into one's shell.”

- Deirdre Lashgar -
