- Memed, My hawk by Yasar Kemal is the most interesting and entertaining novel I have read in a very long time. This is probably the best Turkish novel ever. In this video I will summarise the novel, tell you what the themes are and also what makes this novel so unique.
I'm on a journey to read unique fiction and stories from every country on earth.

In the next video I will summarise and dicusses the Book of Dede Korkut, so please stay tuned. Also please subscribe and share.
The first 40 pages of the book is the definition of the landscape of southern Turkey. He draws the flowers mountains rivers with magical words. Impressive! Also recommend “the legend of Ararat mountain” from Yasar Kemal
I read it in Turkish and bought copies in English for my foreign friends. The story is very touching, but like you said at the end, it's the storytelling that matters. Yaşar Kemal's narrative is beautiful, almost poetic. This is what makes him stand out among his contemporaries. It's not political, but through the descriptions and character creating, he makes his story unique and universal, almost timeless. Thank you for this. I'm glad you enjoyed it. He should have received the Nobel Prize.
Thank you!
Its a masterpiece. And I liked your summary. You are so lucky that you redd Memed My Hawk. Thank you.
Thank you! I absolutely loved it.
I read it a long time ago. Your analysis is really great. I feel lucky to have read it in its original language. I'm very proud of Yashar Kemal and his works. I highly recommend you to read the books of Zülfü Livaneli who is an amazing author and musician and analyse one of his books.
Thank you for the great comments. Yes Yashar Kemal was a great storyteller. I will check out your recommendations.
A fantastic review. Your videos are great!
Thank you.
Your channel is really interesting. thano you for your effort.
Great summary, congratulations man. 🇹🇷👏🏼
Thank you!
What a great review and choice ! I'm going ahead to check the other gems you are presenting in your channel.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
@@rahel7443 Yes there is an english translation which i read. I read the e-book version.
great review!!!
Thank you.
Thank you for selecting this book👍🏻 Your video is absolutely amazing 👏🏻👏🏻
A wonderful novel. Thank you!
once the author told "I have a wish! everybody who read my book "ince memed(memed my hawk) would never lie!"
💜
you can try : "Mesnevi" by "Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi" @01:02
The translator must have done a super duper job that you were able to enjoy this book so immensely despite reading a translation. I hope that one day you will do Elif Shafak. Many thanks.
Thank you! The translation by Edouard Roditi is exquisite. Which of Elif Shafak’s book would you suggest? I read 40 rule of love, it’s good but I wasn’t blown away.
The book that impressed me is 'Three Daughters' and the reason is because it delves into the emotional/mental/psychological conflicts that people, especially women, suffer from when trying to adjust in a western culture. The book I am reading now is 'Honours' which is again about how Middle Eastern men adhere to the same moral values they grew up even when they would have lived for so many years in the West. Keep the good work. You are very enriching.
Thank you. I’ll check out three daughters.
❤️ yaşar kemal ❤️
Great novelist.
Thank you, sir. It was really insightful. May I make a request? Can you please do an introductory edpisode to Kurdish Literature, giving insight to various aspects like Irqi-Kurd, Irani-Kurd, Syrian-Kurd and Turkish-Kurd literatures, either seperately or together, as you may choose? Or, if there are previous episodes touching on these, would you please give the links..? Thanks in advance.
Thank you. I made a video on Kurdish epic of men and zin. Search my page.
Great analysis. Unless I missed, you haven't mentioned the parts from the second, third, or fourth books of the series. Have they also been translated into English? Or just the first book? Thanks in advance.
It;s only book 1. I dont think the rest has been translated.
@@Fiction_Beast the second one is also translated, "They Burn the Thistles" is the title if I am not mistaken
just wanted to thank this author for all he did in 1951 to save holy cross aghtamar church
Very sad story, the part where Hatche is in her cell alone is one I remember clearly. Also Memet robbing Kerimoglu (I think it was), who seemed so kindly and friendly.
I'm surprised and maybe its a good thing, there is no major attempt to adapt this again by a streamer.
Such a great novel. It had a massive impact on me.
