Tell me Zilan

“There is only one servant of God who has a conscience and says: They eat bread like us and spend their nights to take care of their homes and children. He did not say that they work during the day, in the mountains and on the slopes, everywhere and at any job, they sleep at night, they see happy dreams just like us, they raise children, they love, they fall in love, they sometimes cry, sometimes they laugh. The language, belief and lifestyle they acquired from birth are halal to them like their mother's white milk, and they live freely in this decrepit world, where they speak their own language, like humans; He did not say, did not say, could not say that it is their right to live with their bellies full, their backs strong and their heads held high…”

It was the time of words. It was time to become the language of a speechless people, as old as time, and to give life to lost words... Dengbejs expressed their memories into sound and words. Hünermends reproduced the pain and sadness of the past with their breath...

Say Zilan is the novel of the days of rebellion at the foot of Mount Ararat, of lovers defying death, of a geography whose wounds do not heal.

A. Sırrı Özbek tells Zilan's story in an epic language, with a heart-touching voice.
