Kent effortlessly weaves travels that are close to his heart into a bigger story of Turkey's past and present' - Mishal Husain 'A rich, spellbinding book: dense with people, stories, history, colour, lived experience . . . The book is alive on every page' - Neel Mukherjee, Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Lives of Others The Endless Country takes a journey through Turkey's past - the nation the author's father left decades ago and he returns to as a young man. It is not about Erdogan or Atatürk, the two towering Presidents who have book-ended that history, and at times have appeared impossible to escape. Instead Sami Kent's book goes deep beyond them, revealing a history as rich, layered and absurd as his family's favourite dessert, künefe: a shredded wheat pastry with a core of melted cheese, a topping of pistachios, and a drowning of syrup. From tiny weightlifters to the world's biggest prison, from a failed socialist commune to a wildly successful orchid ice cream, the book is a tribute to the sheer bewildering diversity of Turkey's past: its people, their ideas and their struggles. 'This is surely how history should be told - human, fun, alive' - The Telegraph","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53696454820182,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781529099270_1.jpg?v=1778862178","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/kent-sami-the-endless-country-9781529099270","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
