Episode 5.5: Sabahattin Ali: 1907 to 1948

* Given that this episode was recorded outside of the show's normal recording studio, the sound quality is not as good as usual but hopefully it should still be pretty listenable. The story of one of Turkey's most well-known writers and his work 'Madonna in a Fur Coat', (recorded in the Pera Palace in Istanbul). More of a book review and exploration of an author's life rather than a typical 'History House' episode.
