Vodina - The Story of Kaan
The book's preface
In societies where different ethnic groups and cultures live
together, there are some truths that are happening secretly but are not wanted to be
mentioned much in public.
Mutual exchanges of brides or the acceptance of those with
different beliefs into their community are uncommon occurrences.
When the element of religion is added to ethnic composition and
culture, it creates a barrier that is difficult to overcome.
Kaan, one of the novel's main protagonists, was born and raised
as a member of minority in a multicultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious
society.
He has been experienced some of the difficulties faced by
minority members around the world and still does from time to time.
In fact, in Xanthi, the city where he was born and raised, these
differences are a part of his everyday life, and he takes them for granted.
When he goes to Thessaloniki to study at university, he
encounters a very different environment and as he does not experience the problems
of being different in this environment, he forgets that he is a member of a
minority.
With the relief of this, he gets rid of the psychology of loser
that has been limiting him for years, and for the rest of his life he assumes his
true personality, which he has had to suppress since childhood.
When he gets to know Eleni, the happiest period of his life
begins.
