Melancholy of Innocence is a philo-poetic fable of love set in the late 1920s in Istanbul, just after the political revolution leading to Turkish independence. It is an adolescent's journey into self-discovery about the true meaning of love.
The novel inquires about the human moralities by looking philosophically into the realm of existentialism in the way modern society identifies love.
