Yılmaz Güney - An Ugly King

The book you have in your hand is the most comprehensive book published about Yilmaz Güney to date. We see the "Ugly King" not only with his identity as an artist, but also with his revolutionary, patriotic, intellectual and combative side. During his time, he developed his own methods of resistance and fought against the prohibitions and oppressive mentality, and he bravely paid the price for this.


"Hey, those days are gone! Hello to all of you. I have not forgotten any of you. I will not forget you until I die." He greets us with his words. We will not forget you and will not let you forget.
