A philosopher, educator, and mystic, Semiha Cemāl lived at the threshold of empire and republic, bringing together Sufi metaphysics and classical philosophy in a way that quietly challenged the binaries of her time. This book presents both a critical portrait of her life and the inaugural English edition of her 1927 novel \u003cem\u003eAşk Peygamberi (The Prophet of Love)\u003c\/em\u003e. Written in Ottoman Turkish during the early Republican reforms, the novel stands as a bold work of metaphysical fiction. It stages love as a force of ethical transformation, blending Platonic allegory with Sufi cosmology to explore the soul's journey toward truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough biography, interpretation, and translation, the volume situates Semiha Cemāl within a broader genealogy of Turkish thought, one that highlights the contributions of women, mystics, and overlooked intellectuals. At once scholarly and accessible, it invites readers to rediscover a voice that speaks with clarity, courage, and contemplative depth across a century of silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arzu Eylul Yalcinkaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798993081519\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenan Center Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.71d","brand":"Arzu Eylul Yalcinkaya","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852883702015,"sku":"9798993081519","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/semiha-cemal-arzu-eylul-yalcinkaya-9798993081519","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
