Istanbul Blues
The stories in Istanbul Blues are filled with Buket Uzuner's remarkable sensitivity and psychological insight, taking us into the memories and imaginations of children and adults, and exploring shared history, love, and attachment--to family, friends, lovers, and places. Uzuner's characters share stories that are mythical, mysterious, coincidental, witty, and full of wisdom, and her collection offers readers multiple, rich insights into life in modern Turkey as well as the places explored while traveling abroad. In the hands of an author who is a listener as much as a teller, no matter where they take place, these stories remind us of people we know and of ourselves.
Two Green Otters
MODERN & CONTEMPORARY FICTION (POST C 1945). When her mother abandons her family, Nilsu loses faith in the world and everyone in it. Then she meets Teo, a passionate environmentalist and one of the founders of the Turkish Green Party. Teo's close relationship with his own mother has always held him back, and when she commits suicide, his life slips off the rails. In this story of a young woman's struggle to find love and acceptance, Buket Uzuner explores the complexities of human relationships while offering up an original reinterpretation of the role of both environmentalism and love in the world today.
A Gallipoli Soldier's Secret
The novel A Gallipoli Soldier's Secret is the story of a New Zealand woman's pilgrimage to Turkey to discover the truth about her great-grandfather's fate -- a Gallipoli soldier who never returned home. During her search she stumbles over dark secrets which have been hidden in a Turkish village for decades. They are so sensitive that disclosure threatens embarrassment for villagers and two old foes - New Zealand and Turkey. Lyrically written, A Gallipoli Soldier's Secret paints an informative picture of life in a Turkish village, Turkish culture and history, and the suffering and annihilation Turks endured in WWI. It follows the war through the stories of two soldiers -- New Zealander Alistair John Taylor and Turk Ali Osman. Their lives converge with unexpected consequences. A Gallipoli Soldier's Secret is unique in that it provides a glimpse of the war from a Turkish perspective. It also vividly reveals village life and a journey of inner conflict and self-discovery.

Translation and Gender
Language as a complex and dynamic phenomenon is an important instrument for reflecting individual and social identity. The formation of languages under the influence of specific norms and rules, which depend on historical and cultural developments, goes beyond their mere use as a means of communication. Languages are used to formulate thoughts, express emotions, demonstrate behaviour and produce artistic texts as skills and actions. Languages are also used to exert pressure, direct thoughts and influence people. Especially since the 1970s, under the influence of women's rights and feminist approaches in the West, language has played a prominent role in the reflection on gender and identity i...
