Mervin

By Ömer Sevinçgül

Mervin is the story of the coming of age of a young German officer's candidate during World War II. We are taken through his rose-colored years of naivete and innocence as a child through his experience first hand with the destruction and atrocities of war. We live his life with him as he grows up as a young man in Nazi Germany going to university in the midst of the rise of the Third Reich. We are with him when he falls in love for the first time and when he holds a weapon for the first time. We are captured and taken to a prison camp along with him, and likewise as we too are able to make our escape when he does. We are next to him the first time he meets an American soldier. All of these events and images together make up the portrait of Mervin, a young man who is seeking himself and finding meaning in a world which has been left in smoldering ruins around him. From those ruins, like his country and his world, Mervin begins to rebuild himself.

Ömer Sevinçgül

A human! He lives on earth... He started to read and write when he was seven. He said, “I will be a writer!” at the age of fifteen. He cannot remember the first question he asked. He loves life and dark tea. He locked his engineering diploma in a drawer after he graduated and God knows where it is now. He is the concept consultant for Carpe Diem Publishing House and the Adı Yok Youth Literature Magazine. He does his best to keep out of the spotlight. He is one of a handful of rare writers who wants to exist only through his books.
