Madonna, the owner of the fur coat

A book viewed by everyone with amazement. The readers, literature lovers, and of course all publishers and booksellers: Madonna, the owner of the fur coat. The novel of Sabah al-Din Ali that he published seventy years ago, why does it still not drop from the top of the best-selling books list in Turkey? If someone wants to convince us that Turkey is repaying Sabah al-Din Ali’s kindness, then his words are rejected because the unknown perpetrator of the murder crime has not been convicted yet. And even if we say that the reason is that his novel (Yusuf al-Qoyyojaghli) is classified among the top one hundred classic literary works and is studied in schools, that is also unconvincing. Is it possible for us to understand the reason why his novel (Madonna, the owner of the fur coat) is loved to this degree? The novel tells a unique love story of a Turkish young man expatriated from his homeland, even from all people. Its events mix between fantasy and reality. The writer says in personal letters published after his death that a large part of the novel was true and he lived it himself.
