Krátky popis
'Captivating. Kent effortlessly weaves travels that are close to
his heart into a bigger story of Turkey’s past and present' –
Michal HusainThe Endless Country takes a journey through Turkey’s
past – the nation the author’s father left decades ago and he
returns to as a young man.It is not about Erdogan or Atatürk, the
two towering Presidents who have book-ended that history, and at
times have appeared impossible to escape. Instead Sami Kent’s book
goes deep beyond them, revealing a history as rich, layered and
absurd as his family’s favourite dessert, künefe: a shredded wheat
pastry with a core of melted cheese, a topping of pistachios, and a
drowning of syrup.From tiny weightlifters to the world’s biggest
prison, from a failed socialist commune to a wildly successful
orchid ice cream, the book is a tribute to the sheer bewildering
diversity of Turkey’s past: its people, their ideas and their
struggles.
