Souls in Melancholy: A Philo-Poetic Fable of LOVE

By Raj Doctor

Souls in Melancholy is a philo-poetic fable of love set in the late 1920s in Istanbul, just after the political revolution leading to Turkish independence. It is an adolescent's journey into self-discovery about the true meaning of love.
When Umit grows up under the umbrella of Sufi spirituality, and is left to understand the meaning of life and love through poetic influences, what happens?
One day, while roaming on the streets of Istanbul, Umit finds a Ruh connection with Masum, a beautiful girl 8 years older than him - whom he is simply not able to forget from his being. When coincidence of fate becomes reality, he denies his intelligence and emotions, by following his soul's inner voice. What does Umit do to devote himself to show his profound love for Masum?
Does he succeed? And if he does, why this "Melancholy of Innocence"...?
