Synopsis "The Glass Palace: Tales: The Glass Palace - A Love Tale The Death of the Giants - Sheep Tale"

Once upon a time, there were three friends who loved to lounge around rather than business. It was hard to have the livelihood, they got kicked out wherever they went to even if they were spoilt by some places. They were not able to win with pleasure and to live with peace of mind so that they could not earn because they were not handy. One day, after a long journey, they were looking at the city below when they sat on a hill high and wondered how they would be welcomed in that place, one of them came up with a foolish idea: Said that "Come with me, let's make a glass palace in this city, we will live in abundance and comfort until the end of our lives!"Others: They asked that "What is the glass palace?" The man: "Do not stop, do not waste our time, I would tell it on the way!" they started to descend quickly like a bird down the hill.The ringleader taught his friends how to behave in three or five words on their way to the city.

Sabahattin Ali (1907-1948) was a prominent Turkish novelist, poet, and journalist, considered a pioneer of modern Turkish literature. Born in a region of the Ottoman Empire that today belongs to Bulgaria, he was educated in Turkey and Germany, and worked as a German teacher in high schools. His work is characterized by a deep exploration of Turkish society and a subtle critique of the political structures of his time.

Among his most recognized novels are "Madonna in a Fur Coat" (1943) and "Yusuf of the Village" (1937), both belonging to the genre of realistic novel. Additionally, he published several collections of stories, such as "The Mill" (1935) and "Ox Cart" (1936). His political commitment and his criticisms of Kemal Atatürk's government led to his imprisonment on two occasions, and his works were banned until 1965.
