  • Summary

  • One of Turkiye's most influential authors and often likened to Charles Dickens, Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar addressed issues like superstition, class struggles, and gender dynamics with a mix of realism and humor. Set in Istanbul, this sharp and humorous satirical story captures the hysteria surrounding the predicted approach of Halley's Comet in 1919. Against a backdrop of apocalyptic fears and superstitions, the story follows İrfan Galip, a modern - yet conservative - young man, as he navigates his budding romance with a mysterious woman.
