Leer libros Madonna in a Fur Coat
By Sabahattin Ali
Available in English for the first time, this best-selling Turkish classic of love and
alienation in a changing world captures the vibrancy of interwar Berlin. A shy young
man leaves his home in rural Turkey to learn a trade and discover life in 1920s Berlin.
There, amidst the city?s bustling streets, elegant museums, passionate politics, and
infamous cabarets, a chance meeting with a beautiful half-Jewish artist transforms
him forever. Caught between his desire for freedom from tradition and his yearning
to belong, he struggles to hold on to the new life he has found with the woman he
loves. Emotionally powerful, intensely atmospheric, and touchingly profound,
Madonna in a Fur Coat is an unforgettable novel about new beginnings, the relentless
pull of family ties, and the unfathomable nature of the human soul. First published in
1943, this novel, with its quiet yet insistent defiance of social norms, has been
topping best-seller lists in Turkey since 2013.
