Mai ve Siyah-Sadeleştirilmiş Basım

Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)

Prepared for publication with notes from the Ottoman original by Seval Şahin, with an afterword by Orhan Koçak.
In Mai ve Siyah, Halit Ziya Uşaklıgil shows that the individual can also exist as an “individual” in literature. For this reason, the novel is one of the cornerstones of our literary history.
Mai ve Siyah, which tells the story of the life of young Ahmet Cemil, who dreams of becoming a poet, which he wants to fill with poetry, literature, and art, but which passes mostly with hopelessness, defeats, and struggles, also vividly shows the events in the press and art world of the period. Prepared based on the simplified copy of Mai ve Siyah by the author himself in 1938, this edition appeals to today's readers with footnotes added without ignoring the language and style features that reflect the spirit of the period. It is also enriched with visuals and an afterword.
Halit Ziya is an interesting writer in terms of giving the person of the opening to the West, which was an important turning point in Turkish history, and also illuminating an important part of today's Turkey. - OĞUZ ATAY -
