Summary "Turkish Literature; Comprising Fables, Belles-lettres, and Sacred Traditions" is a collection of Turkish literary works written in the early 20th century. This volume aims to provide readers with an introduction to Turkish literature, featuring fables, poetry, and drama that illustrate the rich traditions and narratives of Turkish culture, much of which remains unfamiliar to Western audiences. The opening of the collection begins with a significant introduction by Epiphanius Wilson, emphasizing the unfamiliarity of Turkish literature to both European and American readers. It outlines the historical context of Turkish literature, which is categorized into three main periods and showcases works that include epic poetry and fables with notable moral lessons. The introduction highlights specific pieces, such as "The Rose and the Nightingale" by Mohammed Fasli, which is presented as a notable example of Turkish poetry, and "The Magistrates," a drama by Mirza Feth-Ali Akhoud-Zaidé, promising a vivid portrayal of life in Turkish society replete with complex character dynamics and societal commentary.
