The devil inside us

"It's all the fault of the devil within us..."

Sabahattin Ali is one of the unforgettable writers of Turkish literature. One of his most unsettling novels, The Devil Within Us , explores with profound mastery the inner conflicts of the individual, their frailties compounded by societal pressures, and the dilemmas of intellectuals.

?mer, a young idealist, constantly making excuses for the realities of life, and Macide's pure, innocent, yet slowly crumbling soul-the story of ?mer is not just the story of two individuals, but the mirror of a generation and a society. In this novel, Sabahattin Ali invites the reader to look within: Inside each of us lies an invisible "devil" who feeds on our fears and mistakes.

The Devil Within is a masterpiece that has remained relevant throughout history, from its original writing in the 1940s to the present day, forcing individuals to reckon with both themselves and society. Revealing the frailties, discouragements, and excuses of the human spirit, this novel allows every reader to hear their own inner voice.

Sabahattin Ali's sharp observations and clear style transform The Devil Within Us from being just a novel into a universal inquiry into the inner journey of man.
