About This Item
London: Eland Publishing, 2004. New ed.. Paperback small octavo, very good condition, black & white text-photo (portrait), frontispiece map, spine lettering little faded as common, minor edgewear. 316 pp. Irfan Orga was born into a prosperous family in the twilight of the Ottoman Empire. The First World War (WW1) changed everything. Death and financial disaster reigned, the Sultan was overthrown and Turkey became a republic. The family was forced to adapt to an unimaginably impoverished life. In 1942 the author moved to London, and seven years later he wrote this extraordinary story of his family's survival.
