More about the book

Set against the backdrop of a transforming Ottoman Empire, this novella explores the lives of three inventors, led by Yafes Chelebi, as they pursue the elusive secret of perpetual motion. Their journey unfolds through interlinked stories that blend humor and poignancy, reflecting the era's political upheaval and technological advancements in Istanbul. Anar employs a distinctive style that parodies Ottoman bureaucratic prose, creating a rich tapestry of history infused with imaginative curiosity, reminiscent of Borges.
