Infos

Orga journeys to the center of Turkey to stay with the Yuruk nomads in the High Taurus Mountains, learning their lore and legends in a world untouched by politics or the march of events.

Autor

Irfan Orga was born into a rich Ottoman family which was decimated, financially and emotionally, by the First World War. He joined the Turkish Air Force but was forced into exile by a law forbidding members of the armed forces to marry foreigners. Living in England with his Anglo-Irish wife and their son Ates, he was largely supported by his wife, though the publication of Portrait of a Turkish Family and The Caravan Moves On made him a literary celebrity in the 50s.
