About this ebook
Irfan Orga, author of Portrait of a Turkish Family, journeys to the centre of Turkey to stay with the Yürük nomads in the High Taurus mountains. He learns their traditions, listens to their legends and lives to feel that heroes dead a thousand years and abducted princesses turned mad by grief are still palpably alive. Orga enters a world untouched by politics or the march of world events. He reconnects us with a once-ubiquitous emotional landscape – a visceral place underpinned by elemental values.
Irfan Orga
İrfan Orga (1908–1970) was a Turkish fighter pilot, staff officer and author, writing in English. He published books on many areas of Turkish life, cookery and history, as well as a life of Atatürk, and a universally admired autobiography – Portrait of a Turkish Family (1950).

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Orga describes a journey back from his adopted home of London to his country of birth, Turkey. From a brief family link up in Izmir, he heads south west, to meet an old friend near Konya, and later, to spend time on Mt Kara Dag with the nomadic Yoruk people. Fairly interesting read.
