Şeytan, Melek ve Komünist

Three people whose paths intersect in Berlin, which has experienced the great destructions of the twentieth century. Former student of the Military Academy, homosexual and communist Ali Albayrak. His nickname at school and in the Communist Party of Turkey is "Melek"; his code name in the reports denouncing Nazım Hikmet, whom he admired and even loved, is "Devil". The lustful singer İpek and the biographer who had a passionate love affair with her.

You can read this multi-layered novel, which questions politics and violence, as the life story of Nazım Hikmet with its unknown aspects, or as a reckoning with twentieth-century history...

It used to be a train window, now it's an "old rifle". A station where not only high-speed trains but even freight trains don't stop by. So deserted, abandoned, all alone in the snow and winter. He must have written "The Last Bus" with similar feelings, Şair Baba understands this better now. Here, at this age, sitting alone in front of the steamy window. He is not really alone, brewing together with his reflection in the window. But now, on a snowy Berlin night, he remembers the past, having come to the end of the road. He was happy like a Moor who found a treasure when he found that poem in Budapest and sent it to the Stasi. All the journeys he took with Şair Baba are behind him, just like that journey. Ankara, Bursa, Sofia, Leipzig, Moscow...
