A Turkish Folktale
First published in 1996. A ten-hour tale, long enough to fill a night in the telling, artful enough to keep all its listeners eagerly awake: such marathon narratives constitute a recurrent theme found in folktales worldwide.

The Art of the Turkish Tale
In casting them into English, Walker has paid particular attention to capturing the flavor and excitement of the Turkish telling, while not infringing "on the narrator's right to have the tale recreated as he had told it." ...The Beauty, power, and appeal of the present volume for the general reading public, however, depends largely upon Barbara Walker's own consummate skill as a teller and re-teller of tales and her commitment to conveying as much of the Turkish performance context as possible. ...In a gesture which is perhaps symptomatic of the reasons for this volume's success, [Barbara Walker] recognizes in the Acknowledgments section each and every tale-teller by name--all forty of them...
The Genesis of the Turks
This book suggests a new theory on the origins and Urheimat of the Turks within the context of Central Eurasia and, more properly, the South Urals, by exploring the relations of the Turkic language with the Altaic, Uralic and Indo-European languages and by referring to historical, genetic and archaeological sources. The book shows that the elements that started the making of the Turkic ethno-linguistic entity were also shared by the regions where the later Hungarians would emerge, and that the consolidation of their identity seems to be related to the emergence and rise of the Sintashta culture. It argues that the fertile lands and suitable climatic conditions, together with the coming of agriculture likely at the end of the 3rd millennium BC, allowed them to increase their population.
Crimean Tatar Folktales
This volume contains Crimean Tatar folklore texts that had been collected by the noted Hungarian Turkologist Ignác Kúnos during World War I, specifically from Russian Muslim prisoners of war in Hungarian camps. The collection consists of 38 fairy tales and a partial version of the Chora-batir epic. The tales featuring padishahs, their sons, and naive boys, exhibit the enchanting diversity of Crimean Tatar folk imagination. The introductory study delves into linguistic aspects, then the next chapter explicates the transcription system’s phonetic nuances. It is followed by an English translation, which reflects Kúnos’ Hungarian translation in a much ameliorated and revised form. A sizab...
