Produktbeschreibung

Situated between Europe and Asia, and surrounded by three seas-the Aegean to the west, the Mediterranean to the south and the Black Sea to the north-Turkey comprises a diverse environmental and cultural tapestry. Ecocriticism and Turkey is the first in-depth study to explore Turkish literary and cultural engagements with its environments. From internationally celebrated writers such as Orhan Pamuk and Elif Shafak to a new generation of writers, the book moves through a full range of environmental issues, from coastal economies and ecotourism, to migration, environmental degradation and human-animal relations.
