Kent effortlessly weaves travels that are close to his heart into a bigger story of Turkey's past and present' - Mishal Husain\u003cbr\u003e'A rich, spellbinding book: dense with people, stories, history, colour, lived experience . . . The book is alive on every page' - Neel Mukherjee, Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Lives of Others\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Endless Country takes a journey through Turkey's past - the nation the author's father left decades ago and he returns to as a young man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is not about Erdogan or Atatürk, the two towering Presidents who have book-ended that history, and at times have appeared impossible to escape. Instead Sami Kent's book goes deep beyond them, revealing a history as rich, layered and absurd as his family's favourite dessert, künefe: a shredded wheat pastry with a core of melted cheese, a topping of pistachios, and a drowning of syrup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom tiny weightlifters to the world's biggest prison, from a failed socialist commune to a wildly successful orchid ice cream, the book is a tribute to the sheer bewildering diversity of Turkey's past: its people, their ideas and their struggles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'This is surely how history should be told - human, fun, alive' - The Telegraph","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53941994357074,"sku":"9781529099270","price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_42b8ca6b-5f23-495d-8b1f-d67ba4f67f06.jpg?v=1783378656","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/the-endless-country","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
