Wasps, Women's War - Hasan Ali Yücel Classics

Aristophanes (around 450 BC - around 388 BC): A true writer, about whose life almost nothing is known, who was able to bring together all the subtleties of the art of comedy with the testimony of his age, starting from his city of Athens, with eleven of the forty plays he wrote that have survived to the present day. He is the ancestor of theatre.

As a matter of fact, The Wasps, The Birds and Peace, Coal Miners and Women's War, also called "Peace Plays", brought together in this volume, are the best evidence of why the author continues to influence the audiences and playwrights of all ages after him.

Sabahattin Eyüboğlu (1909-1973): Vice president of the Translation Office founded by Hasan Âli Yücel and one of the most important cultural figures of the Republic period. The translations he made, either alone or collaboratively, were among the pinnacle names of world culture, from Khayyam to Montaigne, from Plato to Shakespeare.

Azra Erhat (1915-1982): One of the most important translators of the Translation Office and one of the most active members of the Blue Civilization movement in our cultural life. In addition to his joint translations of Homer and Hesiod, Erhat, who introduced a copyrighted Dictionary of Mythology to our language, also prepared for publication some of the works of Halicarnassus Fisherman and Sabahattin Eyüboğlu, whom he considers his master.
