    About this ebook

    Irfan Orga, author of Portrait of a Turkish Family, journeys to the centre of Turkey to stay with the Yürük nomads in the High Taurus mountains. He learns their traditions, listens to their legends and lives to feel that heroes dead a thousand years and abducted princesses turned mad by grief are still palpably alive. Orga enters a world untouched by politics or the march of world events. He reconnects us with a once-ubiquitous emotional landscape – a visceral place underpinned by elemental values.

      World-class Snob, First-class Diarist

      Mar 25, 2021

      THE BEST DIARISTS ARE flawed individuals who exist on the fringe of great events and are natural observers and acerbic wits. Snobbery helps too. Think Samuel Pepys, James Boswell, Alan Clark. Henry “Chips” Channon (1897-1958) has long been seen as on

      Orga describes a journey back from his adopted home of London to his country of birth, Turkey. From a brief family link up in Izmir, he heads south west, to meet an old friend near Konya, and later, to spend time on Mt Kara Dag with the nomadic Yoruk people. Fairly interesting read.
