The book covers the medieval Turkic societies' assiduous commitment to build spiritually significant and uninterrupted relationships with nonhuman animals, showing animals' active participation in the evolution of humans' communal identities, codes of behavior, and spiritual and emotional lives.

In The Human-Animal Relationship in Pre-Modern Turkish Literature: A Study of The Book of Dede Korkut and The Masnavi, Book I, II, Dilek Bulut Sarikaya explores medieval Anatolia, where humans' connectivity to nonhuman animals was not yet disrupted by the capitalist economic systems and demonstrates how ancient societies treated nonhuman animals as self-conscious, spiritual individuals, capable of feeling pain with highly advanced forms of intentionality.

Dilek Bulut Sarikaya teaches and studies at Cappadocia University.
