Death in Babylon, Love in Istanbul

Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)

In the name of the evils that strip the soul of man under the sky and the loves that clothe it... The twenty-three thousand year old mystery began in the year of the white dragon... Wise priests who discovered the door to the infinity of space, a secret for which they collectively died, If only they knew that thousands of years later, they would be protected by a poet by hiding them in the deep layers of love... If those who left their fingerprints on the hilt of the Sirus-headed legendary dagger knew that blood accumulated in the sheath of the dagger before the warmth of their palms left... Baghdad, Istanbul, Rome, Paris and others; If only they knew that the new love that washed up on their shores was so intense that it would fill all their old histories...

Sages, murderers, nobles and lovers; If they had known that the book they were holding in their hands was about to turn into a nugget of love ready to burst into flames... If the poet had known that the passwords he kept like dreams among his silky lines were being torn apart by passion in crude hands, and that the poppy leaves with which he had made a glass for the wine of eternity were being scattered with hatred... And now, who knows what will happen, when Babylon wakes up?! ..
