Description

Ferit Edgü's The Wounded Age and Eastern Tales is a powerful exploration of violence, otherness, and exile in Turkey's conflict-torn lands. Translated into English for the first time, this collection of poetry and prose paints a vivid picture of a region where history and subjugation continue to have a profound impact.

The stories within are minimal yet evocative, capturing the lives of those living in the East with striking lyricism. From the ruins of a house to the howling of wolves in the hills, Edgü's tales are vivid pictures of life in this region, accompanied by transcriptions of living voices.

Through his writing, Edgü sheds light on the complexities of social and political realities in Turkey, representing them with startling lyricism. This collection is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the intricacies of Turkish literature and culture.
