Description

NAMED A MOST-ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE MILLIONS

Set in a changing Istanbul, this rediscovered 1940s classic from a pioneering Turkish author tells the story of a forbidden love and its consequences.

Raised by her grandmother in one of the famed yalıs, elegant yet crumbling, that line the Bosphorus, Celile occupies a unique space between the old world of the Ottoman Empire and the new world of the Republic. She drifts through ten years of marriage, reserved even with her husband, never tempted to stray from the safe path of respectability. And then one night, intoxicated by a soulful tango, she is suddenly seized with a mad passion for another man, whose reckless pursuit of her should offend but doesn’t. Torn between two men who want to possess her, Celile attempts to live a life true to herself, always keenly aware of the limits placed on her as a woman. 
 
In the Shadow of the Yalı marks the highly anticipated English-language debut of feminist writer and activist Suat Derviş. Her sensitive, strikingly modern portrayal of a love affair, with its frank emphasis on the influence of money, provides a fascinating contrast to classic tales of infidelity such as Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary.

About the Author

Suat Derviş İstanbul’da doğdu. Tıp profesörlerinden İsmail Derviş Bey’in kızı olan Suat Derviş, çocukluk yıllarında özel eğitim aldı. Daha sonra Kadıköy Numune Rüştiyesi’yle Bilgi Yurdu’nda eğitim hayatına devam etti. Konservatuvar eğitimi için ablasıyla birlikte Almanya’ya giderek piyano dersleri almaya başladı ve edebiyat fakültesine yazılarak felsefe derslerine yöneldi. Konservatuvar eğitimini bırakıp Almanya’daki çeşitli dergi ve gazetelerde yazmasıyla gazetecilik hayatı başladı. 1932’de Türkiye’ye döndükten sonra da Son Posta, Vatan, Cumhuriyet, Gece Postası, Yeni Ay, Tan gibi gazetelerde röpotajları, hikâyeleri, romanları yayımlanarak yazı hayatına devam etti. Reşat Fuat Baraner ile birlikte Türkiye’de toplumsal gerçekçi akımın ilk yayın organlarından sayılan Yeni Edebiyat Dergisi’ni yayımladı. Bu dergide kısa öyküler, fıkra ve eleştiriler yazdı. 1944 tutuklamaları sırasında eşi Reşat Fuat Baraner’i sakladığı ve yasadışı Türkiye Komünist Partisi’ne katıldığı gerekçesiyle yargılanarak bir yıl hapse mahkûm oldu. Ardından Paris’e giderek 1953-1961 yılları arasında Fransa’da kaldı. 1961’de Türkiye’ye döndükten sonra romanlarının yazımı ve yayınıyla uğraştı. Birçok ilke de imzasını atan Suat Derviş, yazı hayatına adım attığı Alemdar gazetesindeki “Hezeyan” şiiri başta olmak üzere, gerek farklı mahlaslarla gerek kendi ismiyle yazılmış birçok eseri geride bırakarak 1972’de Kasımpaşa Askeri Deniz Hastanesi’nde hayata gözlerini yumdu.http://www.ithaki.com.tr/yazar/suat-d...
