Golden girl. Said K.

The personality of Kurban Said is mysterious as his book. The authentic name of the author, hiding behind this pseudonym, still causes disputes. The story of his most famous novel “Ali and Nino” is no less dark: the book published in 1937 was tightly forgotten until 1970, when, after the simultaneous publication in America and England, its characters have triumphantly returned to the counter of bookstores.

“Girl from the Golden Horn” - the second novel of the author, the dramatic story of a young Turkish woman, who was supposed to become one of the wives of Ottoman Pasha, but is forced to leave Turkey and live in Berlin, adapting to the customs and habits of European life.
