A Turkish Epic!,
This review is from: The Book of Dede Korkut: A Turkish Epic (Paperback)
The Turkish equivalent of "The Song of Roland"! The narrator throughout the book is Dede Orkut, a Turkmen bard, chronicling the struggles and tribulations of the Oghuz Turks against other Central Asian tribes: the Pechenegs and the Kypchaks, particularly.
Of special interest to me is that it contains many reference to the pre-Islamic aspect of the Turkmens, although it was written after their conversion to Islam. A sort of Islamic Gnostic aspect, to simplify in my terms. |
