"The Book of Dede Korkut" is a collection of 12 stories set in the heroic age of the Oghuz Turks. Although reduced to their present form probably after the beginning of the 13th century, the stories are much older, combining elements of pre-Islamic nomadic society with the later Islamic culture. From the racy and colloquial to the poetic and dignified, the stories bring to life a wild society and its unforgettable characters - the near-legendary Dede Korkut, soothsayer and bard, the chivalrous Beyrek, the unpredictable crazy Karchar, Goggle Eye the monster and Boghazja Fatima of the 40 lovers.
