Turkey is a land torn between East and West, and between its
glorious past and a dangerous, unpredictable future. After the
violence of an attempted military coup against President Erdogan in
2016, an event which shocked the world, journalist and novelist
Kaya Genc travelled around his country on a quest to find the
places and people in whom the contrasts of Turkey's rich past meet.
As suicide bombers attack Istanbul, and journalists and teachers
are imprisoned, he walks the streets of the famous Ottoman
neighborhoods, and tells the stories of the ordinary Turks who live
among the contradictions and conflicts of one of the world's great
cities. The Lion and the Nightingale tells the spellbinding story
of a country whose history has been split between East and West,
between violence and beauty - between the roar of the lion and the
song of the nightingale. Weaving together a mixture of memoir,
interview and his own autobiography, Genc takes the reader on a
contemporary journey through the contradictory soul of the Turkish
nation.
