The Caravan Moves On: Three Weeks among Turkish Nomads

By Irfan Orga

Book Overview

Irfan Orga, author of Portrait of a Turkish Family, journeys to the centre of Turkey to stay with the Yürük nomads in the High Taurus mountains. He learns their traditions, listens to their legends and lives to feel that heroes dead a thousand years and abducted princesses turned mad by grief are still palpably alive.

Orga enters a world untouched by politics or the march of world events. He reconnects us with a once-ubiquitous emotional landscape - a visceral place underpinned by elemental values.
