Yunus Emre

Always when I think about it , I have goose bumps on all my body . it was just what i was looking for , just to be human , to love each other , to not be distracted by external things . Yes

I just finished the first viewing and expect to catch many more goodies in a second watching, or should I say, absorption!? This series is totally riveting and yes does suffer from poor translation!

My question to the community is:

Where can one find a copy of the book written by director & professor Mustafa Titci

"Hear what the loved ones say"

I would love to also read what Prof Mustafa Titci has to say while watching the series a second time!!

Absolutely brilliant series, the acting top tier, the cinematography is beautiful, I feel transported to a different time and place. I am fascinated by the teachings of the Sheikh and the humanized struggles of the protagonists as we see Yunus struggling with his unchecked ego. Many scenes/teachings leave me teary eyed (I never cry!)

The only criticism I have concerns the subtitles, they are not good enough for a masterpiece such as this. I would implore Netflix to PLEASE re subtitle this series for the world audience. Although I can follow along, I feel that I am missing out on like 25-50% of the beauty of the old Turkish language with respect to the spiritual lessons being taught by the character of the Sheikh.

God Bless all of you.

This show is a must watch. The spiritual part of Islam is very well depicted. The relationship between a teacher and disciple and so many aspects have been shown. It's highly recommended...

Commented by Demet Samanci: This great Turkish TV series was originated from the book named "Hear What The Loved Ones Say" written by Assoc. Prof. Dr. of Gazi University Mustafa TATCI who also was the supervisor of the film crew. Mustafa TATCI is an academic author, researcher and leading expert on Yunus Emre subject through his 25-year work background. By the fact that academic studies are not widely acclaimed, he has many works in lay terms offering reader to understand Yunus better. Entitled book "Hear What The Loved Ones Say" published by H Publications, is the source of this great TV series which contains more than 39 Yunus Emre poems with critical edition. This book is also a kind of guide book of an inner journey for the seekers/pretenders.
