“Modern Cyprus Turkish Literature Series” is ready to meet the readers

The 8-book-Modern Cyprus Turkish Literature Series has been published where the Turkish Cypriot literature background is discussed objectively and where the modern literature fields, main writers and the written documents of about a period of 130 years have been archived meticulously into a series.

This work has the ability to interest anyone regardless whether they have any relations to literature or not, because the collection fills a big gap in Cyprus and sheds light to many areas from history to social sciences.

Under the supervision of Mehmet Yasin, the series, which is a product of more than three years worth of comprehensive research, translation and publication on Modern Cyprus Turkish Literature from the 19th to the 21st century, was prepared by “Cypress Research, Translation and Publication Project”. In this work, all the founder, popular, leading writers, poets and men of letters as well as less known colleagues take their place.

The series consists of these parts:
“Poems” prepared by Suzan Yilmaz,
“Operettas and Plays” by Bilen Kiliç
“Memory and Travel Writings” by Ahmet Gildir’,
“Stories” by Gür Genç,
“Novels” by Turhan Uludag,
“Essays” by Nazan Ökçün,
“Critisms of Literature and Analysis” by Murat Bülbülcü
“Life Story and References” by Jenan Selçuk.

The books have been distributed to libraries, cultural organisations and related people both on the island as well as abroad.
Some of them were also given to the bookstores in Cyprus. The books are sold as a series, embracing a non-profit manner.

The books also feature beautiful artwork created by Syndey Stanislas.
