Burt Hirschfeld – Dallas 2 (Dallas 2) – Altın Kitaplar First Edition (1980)
Description:
This Turkish first edition of Dallas 2, published by Altın Kitaplar in 1980, continues the adaptation of the internationally successful television series Dallas, which dominated global prime-time television during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Written by Burt Hirschfeld, this installment expands the dramatic universe of the Ewing family, further developing the themes of wealth, power, and personal conflict that defined the franchise.
The story returns to the turbulent world of the Ewing oil empire, where business ambition and family loyalty are constantly in conflict. As rivalries deepen and alliances shift, the characters are drawn into an increasingly complex web of manipulation, betrayal, and strategic power plays. The narrative emphasizes not only corporate competition but also the emotional fractures within a family shaped by greed and legacy.
As the second volume in the Dallas novel series, this book reflects the continued expansion of the franchise beyond television into international literary markets. Altın Kitaplar’s publication of this title demonstrates the strong demand for serialized television tie-in fiction in Turkey during this period, when readers closely followed popular foreign TV dramas through translated paperback editions.
From a collector’s perspective, this first edition represents an important piece of early 1980s Turkish pop culture publishing. It belongs to the wave of licensed media adaptations that brought globally recognized television narratives into local book markets, making it a notable example of how Dallas extended its influence beyond the screen.
