Heidi Trautmann
I
have not read the book yet but I have seen it come to life, written by a very
charming and creative young man who has studied fine arts and has won several
art competitions with his paintings of children, actually his childhood
stories. Read my comments on his exhibition of the drawings that bring the new
book of fantasy alive, a story of Cyprus, the country with so many legends,
where every hill, rock, wall or fountain in the old cities tell a story, where
there are saints and jinnis to explain things and inexplicable events

Here a comment on GOODREADS….
A fantasy adventure from Saint Hilarion Castle
on the mountains of Cyprus, to Notre Dame Cathedral in the heart of
Paris...Seçkin was leading an ordinary life until a Jinni named ParuParu
appears before him. So, he finds himself in a world of demons, fairies and many
kinds of magical beings. A destiny concealed with challenging events awaits him
on an unpredictable journey. "Good news has come - good news! The morning
star shines, “The Promised one” is being revealed! As jinn and fairies rush, so
rushes evil after the boy. Buy the book - see what unfolds.”
The book was recently presented at the Istanbul Book
Fair
For the young
artist Kemal B. Caymaz, the author of Cyprus' first and most famous fantasy

Saturday, March 17 at 14:00, our artist, who will be at the booth of Dedalus
Publications No. 7-D04, invited everyone to read SAFİR with these words:
“Sapphire is not
only my novel, but the story of the entire Cypriot people. It is the story of
my unjustly beautiful country struggling with embargoes. Therefore, we, as the
whole island people, should do our best to break down the embargoes. We have to
protect our own story and carry it to the international market and promote our
country. ”
