Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

A heart-breaker . . . it has the kind of indefinably powerful impact of The Great Gatsby (Salley Vickers Observer)

'Moving and memorable, full of yearning and melancholy ... reading it is like taking a literary minibreak. (Fiona Wilson The Times)

A poignant coming-of-age tale, drenched in disillusionment. The gap between hope and reality, art and ordinary life, has been explored in many other novels, but rarely with the unaffected simplicity of Madonna in a Fur Coat. (William Armstrong Times Literary Supplement)

A gorgeously melancholic romance . . . a cautionary tale certain to beguile (Eileen Battersby Irish Times)

A tale of young love and disenchantment, of missed opportunities and passion's elusive, flickering flame . . . reminiscent of Turgenev's First Love, with a hero every bit as gauche, and a twist every bit as bitter (Toby Lichtig Financial Times)

Recreates a vanished era and dramatises a doomed relationship, and does so with verve, depth and poignancy. A miniature masterpiece. (Malcolm Forbes The National)

Biografía del autor:

Sabahattin Ali was born in 1907 in the Ottoman town of Egridere (now Ardino in southern Bulgaria) and was killed on the Bulgarian border in 1948 as he attempted to leave Turkey. A teacher, writer, and journalist, he owned and edited a popular weekly newspaper called Marko Pasa and was imprisoned twice for his political views.
