| book description |

The girl HÃ¼sn and the boy AÅŸk are betrothed to each other as children. But HÃ¼sn violates the custom of the tribe by falling in love with him, and AÅŸk must undergo the trials of a journey to the Diyar-i Kalp, Land of the Heart, to prove himself worthyâ€”a journey to realization of both his and HÃ¼sn's true nature. The Turkish verse romance HÃ¼sn Ã¼ AÅŸk, written in 1783 by Åžeyh Galip, head of an Istanbul center of Rumi's order of the Whirling Dervishes, is an innovative interpretation of the Islamic love tale as a story of the action of God's qualities in the world. With its stunning imagery, fast-moving plot, and nonchalant, erudite humor, it is widely known as the greatest work of Ottoman literature. In her introduction Victoria Rowe Holbrook discusses the heritage of Ibn Arabi and Rumi in Ottoman thought, the traditions of verse romance and allegory, Indian style imagery, and Galip's political loyalties.
