On Fertile Lands
This book, beyond my own knowledge and experience, tells me about living a miserable life in bad working conditions just for a bite of bread. It was created with materials compiled from living people. Before it was published, I gathered various farmhands, masters and assistant masters and read it to them until the morning. They listened. 'Sorry,' they said, 'that's all. Everything you said is true. Even missing. Things happen in the fertile lands of Çukurova that make your mind stop. If we told you, you would publish not one but five novels..."
Orhan Kemal's books are among those very rare treasures a reader can come across in life. Few writers leave a mark on the world of their readers as much as he does. Orhan Kemal guides us to regain hope and optimism. We are honored to publish the books of Orhan Kemal, one of the most valuable masters of our literature.
