Forbidden Love - In Modern Turkish

Until Halid Ziya, there wasn't a single writer born with the novelist's imagination. They were all people eager to write novels or stories.
-Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar-

This love, Bihter's love, Bihter and Behlul's forbidden love, is the part the author really wanted to write and in which he was the most successful... Because although the real life of the novel is Nihal's case and he was very successful in her, the author was a hundred times more successful in it and wrote this love in a flawless and exquisite way that could be called "unique" compared to her. There is a great, very great power and art in meticulously analyzing and explaining this love with all its moments and periods from the beginning to the end. The soul and love of this young woman, whom we know so closely and so deeply, fascinate and intoxicate us; After the most delicate and tearful impressions of our souls are brought to excitement with Nihal, we enter the life and soul of Bihter, "the most exquisite woman of this Istanbul", and join in such an uncertain, longing, fragrant dream of passion. And there is such a deep and dark emotion in this that we, too, remain undecided, like Behlul, between staying pure and falling into devotion, and hesitate for a long time which one to choose.
-Mehmed Rauf-

A novel that has been adapted to today's Turkish with minimal touches to the author's original language, and is still brand new. Aşk-ı Memnu will always be read.
