Crazy Turk

By Tolga Çağlayan

As an empire collapses and the world redraws its borders, a nation fights not only for survival, but for its soul.

Crazy Turk - Details are the Homeland is an epic historical novel set in the final days of the Ottoman Empire, when the fate of Anatolia was being decided on distant maps and in blood-soaked trenches. While global powers gamble over empires, ordinary people pay the price - with hunger, exile, sacrifice, and unbreakable faith.

From the frozen mountains of the Caucasus to the burning shores of Gallipoli, from the silent baker's lines of Istanbul to the dusty roads of Anatolia, this is the story of soldiers who march barefoot into destiny, of mothers who stitch hope into woolen socks, of women who wait by the window for news that may never come.

This is not just a war story.
It is the story of a homeland hidden in the smallest details.
In a loaf of bread.
In a pair of worn sandals.
In a whispered prayer.

When the world calls them "crazy,"
they call it love of country.

Because sometimes, the greatest empires fall...
so that a nation can rise.
