Turkish Bookshelf: A Mind at Peace (Huzur) by Ahmed Hamdi Tanpınar

Join us for Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London’s very own book club Turkish Bookshelf!

Join us for Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London’s very own book club Turkish Bookshelf on on 4 April 2025, at 6:30 PM! During our monthly gatherings we will explore Turkish books that have been translated to English on a journey through Türkiye’s rich literary landscape. This month we will kick off our first session by reading A Mind at Peace (Huzur) by Ahmed Hamdi Tanpınar, a must-read that is sure to transport you to the streets of 1923 Istanbul, delving into the precarious balance between tradition and modernity. Tanpınar’s writing embodies its own cultural universe.

Our evening will commence at 6:30pm and continue until 8:30pm, and will take place on the first Friday of every month.

Although it is preferred that you have read the book, our discussions will be accessible to everyone. With the help of our skilled moderator, we aim to provide a comfortable space for you all to unwind and relax at the end of the week.

We look forward to welcoming you to Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London for an evening of meaningful discussion.
