book 1

The Kurdish Shepherd, published in 1935, has the distinction of being the first Kurdish novel. The work, which contains Ereb Şemo's memories of childhood, shepherding, meeting the Bolsheviks and the 1917 October Revolution, is the first to receive a full-text translation in this language, even though it was previously shortened and published in Turkish by a few publishing houses. The novel, which deals with the pre- and post-revolutionary life of the Kurds within the borders of the former "Soviet Union", in a way, presents the life of its author in detail to its readers and also bears witness to the socio-political situation of the Kurds of the period.

book 2

Dimdım Castle tells the history of the war of the Kurds, the people of the castle, to protect themselves against the Ottoman and Iranian armies in the 17th century. The book is also the history of the people of the castle's resistance against the intolerance of cruel and evil despots, thanks to the safe environment, welfare and fair management they provided for themselves. The book was brought to Turkish readers who want to get to know Kurdish Literature by Edib Polat in a quick and easy-to-read style.
