A young intellectual falls in love with his cousin and desperately tries to find his place in the sun. A psychological novel about self-conquest from the author of "Madonna in a Fur Coat."
The legendary Turkish writer Sabahattin Ali has become a belated triumphant discovery for European literature. In his work, he explored the problems of relationships between cultures and ethnic groups through the lives of ordinary people, quickly winning the favor of the literary bohemian circle.
In the novel "The Devil Inside," Sabahattin Ali once again examines the human soul and paints a bold portrait of early 20th-century Istanbul.
Ömer is an intelligent, open-minded, and romantic young man, yet the Devil living within him makes him infantile and weak-willed. His infatuation with his cousin Macide, a conservatory student, turns his life upside down, and though he desperately tries to fight his Devil, he inevitably drags her down with him.
The sudden reappearance of Macide's first love, the pianist Bedri, forces Ömer to wonder: must he continue to ruin the life of his beloved? Or will the Devil inside him win?
