Generic Brand Hamamname

The idea of writing such a book emerged in the eighties, even when i was still living in ankara. "i informed my readers about this design in my article titled ""before dying"" in the ""horizon adjustment"" section of my murathan '95 book, which i prepared for my 40th birthday, as follows: ""a book called 'hamamname' has been spinning in my head for years." A secret historical novel. Having settled in a istanbul bathhouse a few centuries ago, i aim to listen and let you listen to the last few centuries of istanbul, as seen from the mouth of a bathhouse genie, through various baths, until today. The history of istanbul's hamams, the great detours between daily life and individual lives, underground histories, külhanlar, water cisterns. . . I am looking for a new language between the ottoman arts and contemporary, narrative techniques. "however, the first notes about hamamname were written down much later, starting from june 26, 2009." Then again, years. "hamamname can be considered the first return to ottoman material with such intensity, following my first poetry book, ""hikâyat"" about the ottomans." This book is a testament to the legacy left behind by numerous authors, most notably reşad ekrem koçu, but also including ebüzziya tevfik, ahmet refik, enderunlu vâsıf, ahmet rasim, sermet muhtar alus, semavi eyice, the hamamcılar kethüdası derviş i̇smail, and enderunlu fâzıl bey. It is written with the breath of that legacy. — murathan mungan Promotional text
