The girl Hüsn and the boy A?k are betrothed to each other as children. But Hüsn violates the custom of the tribe by falling in love with him, and A?k must undergo the trials of a journey to the Diyar-i Kalp, Land of the Heart, to prove himself worthy-a journey to realization of both his and Hüsn's true nature. The Turkish verse romance Hüsn ü A?k, written in 1783 by ?eyh Galip, head of an Istanbul center of Rumi's order of the Whirling Dervishes, is an innovative interpretation of the Islamic love tale as a story of the action of God's qualities in the world. With its stunning imagery, fast-moving plot, and nonchalant, erudite humor, it is widely known as the greatest work of Ottoman literature. In her introduction Victoria Rowe Holbrook discusses the heritage of Ibn Arabi and Rumi in Ottoman thought, the traditions of verse romance and allegory, Indian style imagery, and Galip's political loyalties.
