Description

Kar Kokusu by Ahmet Ümit is a poetic, bitter, and thought-provoking novel set in 1980s Turkey, against the backdrop of political oppression following the military coup. The story follows a group of young Turkish leftists who flee to the Soviet Union to study Marxist ideology and pursue their revolutionary dreams.
