Verses of the Angel

Writer Mahmut Baran is a writer from Diyarbakır who is sentenced to life imprisonment. In his novel Angel's Verses, he describes in an epic language the great love of his heroes, who set out with great ideals, and their endless and selfless devotion to the revolution. It successfully describes Erdal's romantic revolutionary resistance while in custody, his faith in the struggle for freedom and his love for Rûken without any deviations, with excitement, without slowing down his sense of curiosity and narrative tempo. On the other hand, Mustafa's principled stance, resistance, and tactician profile arouse great admiration in those around him and, of course, in the readers. The tragic end of Edûle's love for Dewrêşê Evdî, Rûken for Erdal and Eylem for Mustafa is, in a way, the epic of those who put their ideals ahead of their love; The heroic epic of men and women who continue their struggle for freedom with their loyalty to their love and the power they receive from their love... The Verses of the Angel, in a way, present a general summary of the thirty-year war.
