I Never Gave Up

I Never Gave Up - Alişan Kapaklıkaya | Turkish Book

Written by Alişan Kapaklıkaya, "I Never Gave Up" is a compelling Turkish Book that tells the story of the struggle against life's difficulties and the power of perseverance. There were many questions troubling my little mind. When I asked my father, “Does God come to visit us?”, he got angry with me. I asked my teacher, “If it rained from the ground up to the sky, would flowers bloom in the sky?” He shouted, “You idiot! Sit down!”

Kapaklıkaya sincerely shares the difficulties and injustices he faced in his childhood. I asked the imam, “If you were a prophet, would you still get angry with us?” He said, “God forbid,” and pulled my ear. When I told my uncle's daughter, “I will study and become a great man,” she mocked me, saying, “You fool, first stop wetting your pants.” In this book, he tells the story of his transformation from a child who felt useless, timid, and insecure into a strong individual who never gave up on his dreams.

I dreamed: Of children laughing and playing together, of no one insulting anyone, of adults not oppressing the young, of everyone looking at each other with love, of students waiting for the holidays to end so they could go to school… I stood up again and NEVER GAVE UP on my dreams. This work by Alişan Kapaklıkaya invites readers to embark on their own inner journey and hold onto their dreams. As you read this book, you will rediscover your strength to overcome difficulties. Like Alişan Kapaklıkaya's other Turkish books, this work will deeply move its readers.
