A Mind At Peace by Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar
Set in Istanbul during the early Republic, the novel follows an introspective man whose unfulfilled loves and recollections of the past unfold against a city in transition; through his quiet longing, encounters with others, and frequent reveries the narrative meditates on time, memory, identity and the elusive pursuit of inner peace amid the social and cultural upheavals of modern life, rendered in lyrical, elegiac prose.
