Mai Ve Siyah by Halid Ziya Uşaklıgil
A sensitive, idealistic young man leaves the provinces for Istanbul seeking literary acclaim and romantic fulfillment, only to confront social ambition, hypocrisy and moral compromises that slowly shatter his dreams and lead to personal disillusionment and tragedy; the novel paints a psychological portrait of a writer’s inner conflict and contrasts poetic longing with the harsh, pragmatic forces of late-Ottoman bourgeois society.
