The lime pit digger (Tekne Kazıntısı in Turkish)

from Irgatların Ofkesi, publish in1971, last edition 2015

translated by Esin Bilbasar Rey

Translator's note : The laborer speaks in Yörük dialect which was difficult to translate. A simple English was chosen instead of a literal,  direct translation which may have made the text unintelligible for the English speaking reader although in so doing  it lost its oriental flavor..
