Hayat - Dürbünümde Kırk Sene (1941-1964)

What I wrote in Life and Sorrow are the pictures that hit my binoculars of the forty years I spent in the world where my father also existed; These are my selections from what I have experienced and seen in my private life and in my country since 1941. In my book, I included the memories that affected me a lot, made me very sad, made me very happy, left a mark on me, and always remained in my memory.

The adventure of my years after 1983 may be the subject of another book, but these books are my answer to "How am I, Ayse Kulin?" until 1983. Greetings to Edip Cansever.

Ayse Kulin, who tells the story of Turkey from the last days of the Ottoman Empire to the middle of the republic, based on her family's experiences in Farewell and Hope, this time tells about her own memories and the world that forms the background of those memories in Life and Hüzün.

A work in which memories, Turkey and world conditions are intertwined, from Ayse Kulin, one of the most popular writers of contemporary Turkish literature.
