Siebentürmeviertel

A family saga between Orient and Occident. You haven't read it like this before: Feridun Zaimoglu takes his readers into the Istanbul of the 1930s and right into a strange and fascinating world in which a German boy has to assert himself. A family saga of a special kind, full of emotion, abysmal and exciting. Wolf does not know what happens to him. After the death of his mother, he has lived with his father, but suddenly has to leave Germany with him after a warning from the Gestapo. It is the year 1939, and Wolf finds himself in Istanbul, in the family of Abdullah Bey, a former work colleague of his father. The Seven Towers district is one of the most dazzling parts of the metropolis, where religions and ethnic groups live side by side in a tense coexistence. What was intended to be a temporary measure becomes a permanent solution, and Wolf has to face it.
