An Unprecedented Communal Rite in the Court of Nur Baba

Paperback. 12mo. (17 x 11 cm). In English. 39 p. An unprecedented communal rite in the court of Nur Baba. Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoglu's highly criticized novel depicting the lasvicious life in a Bektashi centre. The room we entered was filled with the evening sun. it was almost bare with white floors; each of the open windows had a different view; the room contained no substantial furniture except for two large cushions for the guest of honors, and a few straw chairs; the sheik's three layered cushion-mattress decorated with several silk cushions is somewhat more meticulous.
