Gökmen Topuz s book, One Football of Two States in Three Wars, isn t just a football history book. Football isn t just a sport, after all. As Gökmen Topuz says, it has always been a mirror of the economic, social, and political structures of its region. Gökmen Topuz, with whom I worked for a long time in the energy sector and with whom I co-authored a sector-specific book, had never discussed football until he sent me a pre-publishing copy of this book, which had already reached its readers. When I began reading One Football of Two States in Three Wars, I realized it opened a different perspective on football than traditional football history studies. It departs from studies designed to mythologize a particular team, and examines football through the realities and necessities of a period stretching from the era when football first emerged on our lands to the founding years of the Republic. This reading draws us into the harsh, real, and ironic experiences of the Balkan Wars, World War I, and the Turkish War of Independence, through the memoirs of numerous sports figures who witnessed the period. This book is, therefore, the story of our land itself. PROF. DR. YÜKSEL YALOVA Politician, lawyer, academic, sports executive, actor

This work is the most compelling evidence of the inner reckoning of Kemal R?gıp Enson, one of our literature s forgotten writers. He printed a small number of copies using the savings he had from his deceased son, leaving the proceeds to the Darülaceze (Hospice). Reading this book will reveal Kemal R?gıp s final year, a year he endured alone in this mortal world, devastated by the suicide of his beloved son and, soon after, his wife. You will read about the stormy days and tragic end of this man s sailing life, a life he struggled to maintain as a man, husband, and father, not to mention his literary career. As we work on this, you ll encounter the concepts of family, marriage, children, happiness, and success, which frequently provoked our thoughts, as they were filtered through Kemal R?gıp s mind. Sometimes you ll agree, and sometimes you ll perhaps be angry. The Enson Family, separated from this life by a series of suicides, rests in Zincirlikuyu Cemetery.

Dmitri Orehov presents the reader with a blend of history and fairy tale. Some books leave a unique mark on you. Dmitri Orehov s story is one of those that does. It s a unique allegory, as familiar as it is painful. Pavel Kursanov Cranes draws you in so deeply that as you flip through the pages, you find yourself wishing he or she had read this, or that one, and remembering the names of people you know. Sergey Nosov Rarely is a critique of capitalism so subtle and artistically satisfying. The title Bird Island is a nod to Orwell; the clarity of the text is reminiscent of ancient and classical fables. German Sadulayev Yes, it s a story. A dystopia. A fairy tale. But the goosebumps that rise as you delve deeper into the text aren t fairytales; they re completely real and natural. Andrey Konstantinov
