Felatun Bey and Rakim Efendi by Ahmet Mithat Efendi
Ahmet Midhat Efendi's famous 1875 novel Felatun Bey and Rakim Efendi takes place in late nineteenth-century Istanbul and follows the lives of two young men who come from radically different backgrounds. The novel provides readers with an elegant yet powerful appeal for progressive reforms and individual freedoms.
"One of the earliest examples of the Ottoman novel and it is today seen by many as the representative work of its era..it is undoubtedly a fascinating historical artefact."
