Life is beautiful, my brother. Hikmet N.

This novel was written more than half a century ago about the events that are almost a hundred years old - we are talking about the Russian revolution and the formation of the young Turkish republic.

And that grandiose political disasters - in Russia or in Turkey, at the beginning of the 20th or 21st century - can only be understood as part of a large, common history of peoples. Stories in which every human fate sounds its own, complete pain and joy, melody.
