Description
A young intellectual falls in love with his cousin and desperately tries to carve out his place in the sun. A psychological novel about overcoming oneself by the author of “The Madonna in the Fur Coat.”
The legendary Turkish writer Sabahattin Ali became a late but triumphant discovery for European literature. In his work, he exposed the problems of relationships between cultures and ethnic groups through the example of ordinary people, quickly winning the favor of the literary bohemia.
In the novel “The Devil Within Us” ("Дьявол внутри нас"), Sabahattin Ali once again explores the human soul, depicting early 20th-century Istanbul in broad, bold strokes.
Omer is a young man who is intelligent, open, and romantic, yet the Devil living within him makes him childish and lacking in willpower. His infatuation with his cousin Mâcide, a conservatory student, turns his life upside down, and he desperately tries to fight his Devil—yet inevitably pulls the girl down with him.
The sudden appearance of Mâcide’s first love—the pianist Bedri—forces Omer to ask himself: should he go on destroying his beloved’s life? Or will the Devil within him win?
