That painting, "Madonna in a Fur Coat" standing behind a display case on the chilly streets of Berlin, is a turning point that bisects Raif Efendi's life. It's the story of a great, silent love hidden in the heart of a quiet, introverted, seemingly ordinary man.

Sabahattin Ali, with language that touches the depths of the human soul, narrates with unparalleled elegance the subtleties of love and the weight of loneliness. "Madonna in a Fur Coat" is not merely a romance; it's a novel about a lost identity, repressed emotions, and a confrontation with the fragility of being human.

A quiet whisper echoes on every page, a deep sigh in every line. Raif Efendi's love for Maria Puder transcends time and resonates in the reader's heart.

This special edition, with a foreword by Tolga Çaglayan, offers a new interpretation, a fresh perspective, on Sabahattin Ali's classic work. Çaglayan connects the timeless theme of the work and the characters' inner conflicts with the loneliness of today's people?opening a new door for the reader with an introduction that delicately blends past and present, love and existence.
