Kaldırımlar Kurdunun Hayatı 4

Kaldırım Destanı - Kaldırımlar Kurdunun Hayatı 4
Book 4: The witch and the cruel man fought bitterly and, using her spells, she won. As the man lay dying, his hair fell out, revealing a cross on his skull. The witch cried out in remorse as she realized he was her son. Back in the courtroom, the judge releases the small hero and gives him some money. But being completely ignorant and unadjusted, it is impossible for him to partake in public life. In the Turkish bath he accidentally causes a fight, in a restaurant they will not serve the smelly outcast. Despondent he goes to the dead witch's house, his former home. But in his ignorance, he misunderstands even food, choking in lard and burning his mouth with peppers. Finally he drops off to sleep while matches are burning on the floor.

Masist Gül (1947-2003) with his strong physique was a Turkish actor who played obscure roles in more then 300 hundred movies.
In his private life, unknown to the outside world, he was an extraordinary artist. He produced a large amount of collages, drawings and poetry.
During the 80's he conceived and made by hand, using a periodical comic-book format, a series of 6 books with the title Kaldirim Destani - Kaldirimlar Kurdunun Hayati (Pavement Myth - The Life of the Pavement's Wolf.)
Bent 001 will be the first existing reproductions of these originals.
The story is based on Gül's own life. It is written in Turkish. As all the texts are in rhyme they cannot be translated without significant loss of meaning.
The narrative takes place between 1905 and 1978 in Adana. It is told as a flashback. The protagonist called Kaldirim Fahri/ Pavement Fahri is a tough-guy, a mirror image of Gül himself, who is telling a group of friends his life story. Whilst talking, he often pauses to fight with his best friend and adversary.
