Puslu Kıtalar Atlası by İhsan Oktay Anar6/11/2023 This character appears in several of Anar’s books and is based on the author himself, who is six feet four inches tall. The nephew İhsan is called Uzun İhsan, which translates as İhsan the Long. You may have noted that this is also the name of the author. İhsan is now taking Alibaz to his nephew and great-nephew. He ran riot on the ship, damaged the key cannon, which meant they had to flee from another ship and only just made it and stole large amounts of the booty they captured. İhsan is covered in tattoos and scars and has just returned from an expedition which did not go quite as well as he hoped, primarily because of Alibaz, a slave he captured. The characters are not always human – the characters with a colourful story include a bear, a monkey and a book. Every character we meet has a colourful story behind him, with Anar giving full rein to his inventiveness in each case. Indeed, the first person we meet is a pirate. The geopolitical situation, however, does not really concern our characters. The book is set in the late seventeenth century, when the Ottoman Empire was pushing into Europe, culminating in the failed Siege of Vienna.
