Description

Broken Winged Birds is a work by Aisha Colin translated by Perry Ashtari and published by Foroozeh Publications. This is not a historical novel, but its story is in the heart of history and is narrated from the thirties to recent years. Broken Bird is a human-centered story that is associated with contemporary Turkish history and tells of forced migration, politicization of religion, discrimination, violence and so on. The story begins in March 1933 in Frankfurt, from the sad and sad looks of a woman who has to leave her memories, her identity, her home, her lovely memories and everything she is used to, in order to be able to Save his life.

Excerpts from the book
Gerhard gently patted his hand and asked, “Are you… good professor?”

“I am fine? I am fine? I! Because I was a Jew in my homeland, I was considered a lowly race, I was humbled, I was expelled from teaching, I, a refugee who was forced to leave my job, my home and my land, fled! Now here in a country on the other side of the world, in a palace drowned in crystal and marble, and among the furniture of pearl jewelry, in a house decorated with magnificent carpets and paintings, he is recognized as one of the thousand chosen people, as a respected professor. I can. Yes sir, well, very well. “It’s like I was born again.”
