I just read "Bir Kadýn Düþmaný" by Reþat Nuri Güntekin, it was a very nice and different book, especially the kind of book women would like. There are a lot of old turkish words in the book, but a dictionary at the end of the book exists. I don´t know if it was translated in english.
Could you tell me more about this book? Since it´s not translated into English...

The title of the book is "bir kadýn düþmaný", "a woman´s enemy". The book is divided into two main parts. The first part consists of the letters of the female character, Sara, written to her female friend and her father.
Sara is a rich and a very beautiful urban girl who´s very spoilt, and she´s aware of the power of her beauty, she takes pleasure from making men fall in love with her, she has no intention to get married. She´ sure that every men can fall in love with her.
However, one day she meets a very ugly man who´s known as a woman´s enemy.He has no interest in women, he always makes fun of them and he´s very rude with them. Sara is very surprised and very frustrated that he is not interested even with her. So, she decides to take revenge trying to make him fall in love with her. Though, this seems to be impossible.
The second part of the books consists of the letters of this woman´s enemy written to his best and only friend.In this second part, the answers to all the questions are revealed.
I don´t tell the end of the book in case you read it one day

If you like to read from historical books, you can try Ãlber ORTAYLI´s and Halil Ãbrahim ÃNAL´s books. They are perfect about Ottoman´s History.
Especially Ãlber ORTAYLI. For example "Osmanlý´yý Yeniden Keþfetmek 1-2-3, Avrupa ve Biz, Mekan ve Olaylarýyla Topkapý Sarayý, Ãmparatorluðun En Uzun Yüzyýlý"
