Day dreams, lonely walks in the wild. and the childhood years spent with books that were engrossed in for hours... Then the pains of transition to adulthood, tantrums, the separation from the family of a young woman who decided to live life to the fullest... The freedom and tragedy that comes at the end of a successful rebellion... Martha Quest is about exploring life and It is the story of a journey undertaken to make sense of life and a never-ending determination.

Martha Quest, bearing traces of the life of Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing, is the first volume of the "Children of Violence" series of five books, which tells about a generation born and raised between two world wars. This masterpiece, which takes its place in the Modern Classics series, meets Turkish readers for the first time.

Doris Lessing's unique sensitivity carries her writings beyond the spirit of the time. This is not a talent to be analyzed, it can only be honored.
-Joyce Carol Oates-

"If there were a Mount Rushmore Monument for 20th century writers, one of the faces carved on it would surely be Doris Lessing."
