The Turkish Library builds on extensive experience of the Robert Bosch Stiftung on as publisher. The Polish Library and the Czech library, it has already been presented literature of European neighbors, the largely unknown in Germany. To make the Turkish library to the public and to deepen the contact between authors and German-speaking readership, it also allows for reading tours, accompanying the creation of teaching materials and an intensive media relations.
The Turkish Library presents milestones of Turkish literature from 1900 to the present day. It should help the German audience to penetrate deeper into the spiritual world of modern Turkey. Whether novel, Autobiography, vivid traditional narrative, and modern short stories, poems, literary, cultural and historical essays - all texts are selected and representative for the first time translated into German. The emphasis is on those authors who, despite their importance to the German audience never made accessible.
The range of selected texts ranging from classic novels of the 20th already Century, which have a permanent place in literary history, to works of the youngest generation of Turkish writers. They all capture the spirit of their time and show the literary variety and richness of a fascinating life forms and views. In addition, the works document the example of the literature, such as radical, Turkey has achieved since the opening to Europe, especially since the founding of the Republic (1923), by the rigid rules and conventions of the Ottoman traditions. The creative tension between the Anatolian and western cultural elements of thought and literary movements has produced many masterpieces to be discovered.
The 20 volumes of the Turkish Library started to appear in autumn 2005. Each volume includes an informative afterword, explanations, and author biography.
A rich Internet documentation on www.tuerkische-bibliothek.de provides readers with reviews, information on books, authors and themes of Turkish library and a constantly updated calendar of events ready for more.
For Germany, Turkey has long been a neighbor. The reasons are not only changing but always close historical relations. Moreover, immigration of more than 2.5 million Turks in Germany unites us in a special way. But how well do we know Turkey? And how well do the Turks us? How can our special historical relationship for the future make it fruitful? What can we do to correct it in this country often limited Turkey's image? These are the questions addressed by the Robert Bosch Foundation "in its funding priority" German Turkish relations. The Robert Bosch Foundation is taking as one of the largest corporate foundations in Germany societal challenges and respond with proposals that will implement it as an example. It shall endeavor to deepen the cultural, political and scientific dialogue between Turks and Germans with specific projects and programs. The Turkish Library opens a window up to now little attention to the fascinating culture of a discovery often too country.
