«El Halcón» is the novel by Yasar Kemal published in paperback by Ediciones B in 1997, with 368 pages, in Spanish.
The story follows Memed, a boy from a village in rural Turkey who grows up marked by the violence of the agás, landowners who subjugate the peasants. When he flees to the mountains, his rebellion against the powerful turns him into a fugitive who, over time, becomes an almost legendary figure for the villagers.
First novel in the «İnce Memed» series, originally published in Turkish in 1955. Translation by Rafael Carpintero Ortega; «Tiempos Modernos» collection.
For readers of classic fiction with social background and twentieth-century Turkish literature: a story of resistance that becomes legend.
Yaşar Kemal was a leading Turkish writer of Kurdish descent, who wrote in Turkish and a human rights activist. He received 38 awards during his lifetime and had been a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature on the strength of his 1955 novel Memed, My Hawk.
