Askin Kirk Kurali

"Askin Kirk Kurali" is a captivating literary work by Elif Safak that intertwines themes of love, mysticism, and the search for meaning in a poetic and profound narrative. In this book, the relationship between Ella and Aziz is placed in a context inspired by the philosophy and teachings of Mevlana and Shams. Safak succeeds in capturing the essence of love through a series of 40 rules that are both inspiring and thought-provoking. These rules reflect not only on love but also on life and the spiritual journey of the individual. The narrative is rich in metaphors, offering readers the opportunity to dive into the deep waters of Sufism while simultaneously exploring the universal truths of the human experience.
