        Sumerian Fables

        by Yalvac Ural

        Yalvaç Ural as one of the best Turkish authors of children’s literature compiles 46 Sumerian fables in this book. Finding similarities between Aesop’s fables and Sumerian writings on tablets, the experienced author aims to show us that the first ever written fables could be these Sumerian fables. He uses his literary skill to round up the broken structures, proverbs, idioms, missing translations on broken tablets left to us by the Sumerians, to be complemented by the meticulous drawings of Erdoğan Oğultekin in a style reflecting life in that time and at that place. With its broad perspective, this book paves the way for a cultural history not only for children but also for adults.

      • The Red Motorcycle

        by Fatma Akerson

        The Red Motorcycle is made up of three narratives “The Red Motorcycle,” “The Tiny Footprints of a Girl on Sand” and “Belakane.”The first story, “The Red Motorcycle” consists of ten letters written by the narrator in retrospective. They are addressed to an Italian friend who, although a foreigner, is familiar with the Mediterranean.The second story, “The Tiny Footsteps of a Girl on Sand” tells of an aged man, who has fallen desperately in love with a very young woman. Following the footprints of Gilgamesh, the Sumerian king (ca 2000 BC) he attempts to reach Utnapishtim, in order to learn the secret of immortality. Anxiously the young woman, now a writer, sets forth to find him.The third story, “Belakane”” begins with a summary of an episode from Eschenbach’s (13th c.) Parcifal. Eschenbach gives an account of how Parcifal’s father, Gachmuret, who was a rich knight in the service of the Chalif, falls in love with the pagan queen Belakane, but then leaves her just before the birth of their child (Feirefiz). Almost seven hundred years later, we find another Belakane in the vicinity of Beirut.All three stories have a rather “cool” style. The writing never turns pathetic, idioms of alienation are employed and a certain irony is always present. No scene ends without a note of hope.

        SuoSalang

        The journey of a young goddess trying to save her dying mother and dying planet.

        by XueMo

        Suosalang is an long epic poem composed by Xuemo. With a length of nearly 100,000 lines totaling over 2 million Chinese characters, Suosalang recounts the journey of a young goddess trying to save her dying mother and dying planet. Destruction is slowly approaching as the planet is lost in overindulgence and overdevelopment. Five champions tasked to save their home world chose to be reincarnated on a distant planet known as Earth. In human forms, they eventually lost themselves and forgot their mission. In order to save her mother as well as her home planet, a brave and intelligent young goddess followed the five champions to Earth. Incarnated in a human form, she set out to awaken the champions from their earthly amnesia. During this process, she attained self-completion and became the brilliant light that lead others to enlightenment ... The journey of the goddess and the five champions was filled with challenges and hardship. They went through the tests of romantic entanglements, life and an death, fame and fortune, demons, and other evil forces, but eventually, they found the eternity that they are determined to find. It is known that, despite having a long and vibrant literary history, the Han Chinese (the ethnic group constituting the majority of the Chinese population) do not seem to have composed any epics like many other cultures did at the dawn of their histories—like Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, the Sumerian epic Gilgamesh, or the Tibetan epic King Gesar—or at some later time—like Dante’s Devine Comedy.  Hence, Suosalang is sometimes praised as the first epic of the Han Chinese people. Suosalang touches on such enduring themes as the choices between good and evil, love and faith, excellence and mediocrity, war and piece, ego and universal love, and many more. Through the journey of the characters, you may see the wisdom that may guide you through tough choices like these in your own life. Suosalang is a masterpiece that you might not want to miss.
